    Sheb Wooley was my friend until his death. I met him in Nashville, Tn because he was a close friend of my brother. He did a show where I lived and he called me to pick him up at the airport. We stopped at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant and people would recognize him and would interrupt his dinner requesting an autograph which he graciously gave. Allot of celebrities would have gotten annoyed but not Sheb he was not only a great actor but a great man. RIP Sheb, I was honored to be called your friend.........J D Owens

    Also that's the church that I used to go to .
    And you are also correct about the famous lumber Co .
    It's become a favorite with all scales of model railroaders including international railroaders .
    Good old Westside Lumber .
    Grandpa George was the Union reppresinative at one point .
    As with the church it was remodeled . When my Mom and me watched " High Noon " on TV she showed me were her and grandma set . So the thing is . The Church scene was filmed there in Tuolumne ,
    also that church got those stain glass windows and remodeled with the money for filming there .

    It’s my personal belief that the movie High Noon only compounds my belief that the ordinary citizen would rather live under an oppressive society than stand up for law & order.
    I know this movie created quite a stir back then but being honest, I too would have thrown down the badge in the dirt due to those citizens who hid and offered no help at all.
    They didn’t deserve a man with a character such as Kane.

    When I first moved to California in 1976,I lived in an apartment part of a 15 acre complex that was on the old Columbia Ranch in Burbank, the big part that was sold off. The remaining acreage which is now the Warner Brothers ranch was where the main western town set was located... despite several studio 'fires' the famous Hadleyville set also seen in THE WILD ONE with Marlon Brando, and TV shows like THE MONKEES and THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY.
    HIGH NOON had over 20 minutes cut after it was previewed, a whole sub-plot that involved Cooper's deputy Lloyd Bridges and more location footage from the Columbia National Park was a big part of that cutting.
    I worked on the first LETHAL WEAPON on the ranch where scenes including the finale were shot. THE MUPPET MOVIE was one of the last movies to use the famous 60 year-old western street, which was torn down without any fanfare in June 1993 to make way for more parking space.
    The real western street at the Columbia State Park saw TV western filming, namely the early seasons of TALES OF WELLS FARGO with Dale Robertson.
    The SIERRA RAILROAD was HOLLYWOOD's go-to location in Jamestown was their main railroad asset, but most of the studios had their own period locomotives, and RKO even had a genuine spur line going through their movie ranch.

      The Sierra Railroad also doubled as Secret Service Agent Jim West's "Wanderer", in "The Wild, Wild West" and was in Clint Eastwood's "Pale Rider".
      Hmm, "The Wild One". Lee Marvin was in that one, and I loved how he could on occasion be a cutup with his characters as he was in that movie; quite a cutup in "Paint Your Wagon", "Cat Ballou", and "Emperor of the North".

    Trying to catch up with you on your videos as I have just recently found History Hunters. Another great one on a classic Hollywood western with a great cast! I loved seeing Sarah walking on the railroad tracks at the beginning as it brought back many memories of my sister and I doing this on our way to and from school. Although it is no longer, the neighborhood I grew up in was a very rural area, however, there were tracks that ran down the middle of our road east and west of our house. The school was about a block east on the opposite side of the tracks. I am sure they were originally built for railroads but were used only by street cars during the early part of the time we lived there. Thanks for allowing me to reminisce, and for the time and effort you put into making this video!

    All of the big & medium boulders you see, were under water at one time thousands of year's ago.
    Also coming in on Highway 108 you'll see Table Mountain on the left side of the road. Table Mountain is made of volcanic black pumice rock, it can also be found all over Tuolumne County.

    My ex wife lives in Sonora and used to live just outside Columbia. in 1984 she was holding our one year old son in Columbia watching Clint Eastwood film that brief Wells Fargo scene for “Pale Rider”, but she had to leave because our son was too loud. She also managed a hotel in Sonora and met Michael Landon and Victor French who’s TV film crew was staying there. Guess this was for that “Angel” show I forgot the name of. Great vid, though “High Noon” never really was a big deal to me. I did read the recent book about the Blacklist and the intentional metaphors it had on the script.

    Another very fine presentation. Serving at NAVWEAPCEN China Lake in the early 70s, I passed the area not knowing its movie history...Thanks! Whitney Portal is a fabulous place. BTW....Van Cleef is "Americanized" as a long e. In Dutch, it is Fan Clay-f. Typically someone from or near a cliffside.
    The area to the East of Lone Pine also had movie history.....as in "Brigham Young," starring Dean Jagger, Ty Powell and 29 year-old Vincent Price as Joseph Smith.

    Dear Jeff and Sarah, 17 June 2020.
    The 84 yo Aussie again. This video was of particular interest to me. In about 1953 as a single lad I was living and working in Sydney when we were coming out of a recession, I managed to buy a ticket and saw "High Noon" which I enjoyed very much. So you can understand you brought back memories of decades ago, muye bien, thanks!
    But now about your background audio/sound/ music. A few parts much too loud. As I said before, that and we oldies trying to understand your American accent is difficult for us. You do wonderful work, researching and editing takes a long time, I know.
    God Bless, keep them coming,
    Juan.

    Spent a lot of time out in that part of the county with my dad. At Warnerville/Crabtree used to be a small town long ago. Also the house at the end of that intersection we always called the mystery house since it was worked on and abandoned repeatedly over the course of maybe 15 years.

      @@jbenziggy Not much of a town. From one old timer I knew as a kid in the 90s "He was 80 something at the time." there was a stage stop of sorts on the old apple orchard side of the road. Using google earth year layers you can sort of see the outline of it during certain years. What probably counted as Warnerville town was just a small rest area on the old stage and later train route though the area.
      Also worth noting. On Rock River road there is a old pond that some mining operation obliterated the greenery around it. The gate had a Warner Bros studio padlock on it. Someone at some point had cut it/shot it off but left it on the ground and I recovered it and still have it somewhere in a box of junk.
