Default MASH TV Show Set

Not sure where to post this and it may be well known, but I was surprised to see that the TV show MASH set still exists and is part of Malibu Creek State Park in California. I assume these vehicles were the original ones used for filming (?).

MASH is the tv show that started my interest in military ambulances and equipment. I watched that show faithfully when I grew up as a kid and still enjoy watching it.
It has led to me owning at one point in my life 20 army vehicles (now down to my 3 favourite, yes,all carry stretchers!) and a lifetime of collecting Canadian military field equipment of which takes up my entire 1280 square foot basement. Medical equipment being most favourite!
It’s amazing how a tv show can influence a person and often set them on a lifetime path.
It shows on Facebook that it’s MASH’s 50th anniversary today of the start of the show way back in 1972!
My other show I watched as a kid was SWAT which explains my interest in Police Vehicles but we won’t discuss that hobby. One at a time!
How many other MLU’ers were influenced by MASH. I’m hoping I’m not the only one?

Yes, MASH was very much part of what we watched on TV as a family. Like any good show, it has something for everyone.

It was aired in the Netherlands between November 1972 and April 1983, many reruns following in the years thereafter. As is customary here, the original series were aired, with added Dutch subtitles.

One of Keep Them Rolling's members looks so much like Radar that he goes by that name.

And of course, there are fan sites like https://www.mash4077tv.com/learn/camp/

But as far as I can remember they drove MBs, not the CJ shown above.

Default MB, M38 and CJ

According to the ICMDB all three types of Jeeps were used in the television series.

While that show was still in production, they had a sudden forest fire race through the set location one season and lost a significant amount of equipment. They were able to get a bit of filming done as the fire approached and filmed the aftermath as well and wrote it all into several subsequent episodes.

Those burned out wrecks are likely part of that fire situation.
