I believe "The camp." is located here on the property of Bellows Air Force Station. It's difficult to be 100% certain, but a number of clues point to this location being correct.

It doesn't look like much in the google maps aerial photo partly because the area has become overgrown, both in the middle of the "camp" area and the section of the dirt road that was seen in the show.

This 1949 aerial photo shows "the camp" more clearly. (From the top of the image, look 1/4 down and a bit to the left of center.) And in this .pdf file, the dirt road, now only partially visible in google earth, is shown on the "1940" and "current" maps.

(I finally got around to watching another episode of season 8, congratulations me...)

Wow, great find RC! The place seems so isolated in the episode, yet it has a golf course on one side and an airstrip on the other!

That's one of the golf courses we played, very close to where we stayed.

From this view, the "camp" would be over to the left of Larry, teeing off on the 18th hole.

:wink:

They certainly did pick their shots very carefully throughout the run of the show. Bellows also seemed to be the location of the other outdoor adventure scenes in this episode btw.

And golf, I noticed that if you follow the brook on the property where you stayed, it eventually flows into Waimanalo Stream, which flows about 500 feet from this location at one point. Fascinating eh? :wink:

this is the kind of cheese that made me flick to the Cosby show. It was really bad acting and writing. Just way over the top. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of the show but am amazed at the lack of "middle ground". For example, in a different category, Seinfeld was my favorite. Some of the more forgettable shows, still had some moments. Magnum's shows were either super good or super cheesey and stupid.

Just my opinion. At least the women were all pretty good-looking

You guys are lucky. I was on the golf team in High School, but haven't played golf since my early 20s. Must have been beautiful playing in paradise.

Hey golf! I am curious: where did this shot land? from the looks of the path of the ball (which you can estimate based upon the "streak" effect from the slow camera shutter speed) I am thinking this shot went a little left.

:lol:

Probably on the right side of the fairway! Larry has a wicked slice, so he tends to aim left and hope that the ball will land in the fairway -- and half of the time it's STILL out of the fairway to the right! The other half of the time it actually goes straight so it's WAY off to the left. When we play golf up in the mountains of north Georgia, all the deer move from the woods into the middle of the fairway when they see Larry on the teebox because they've learned that's the safest place for them to be!
