3 Godfathers with John Wayne was filmed at the Olancha, CA sand dunes about 150 miles south of Bodie and 10 miles south of Lone Pine, Western movie capital of the World.
I bet you could pick out where scenes were filmed when you watch old westerns? I always loved it when we spotted the Alabama Hills.
We spent much of our summers on that side of the Sierras. I love it over there!
You should watch “Hell’s Heroes.” You’ll probably recognize many of the scenes out of Bodie. It’s obviously in your neck of the woods!
