gosh - how'd I miss that? Much thanks - wish there was more exact info - guess I have some research to do....

Any discussion threads that have information for filming locations for "The Cowboys"? Would love to eventually visit some of the spectacular vistas used as backdrop settings for the film.....

Hello all -

I am an "almost 49" year old guy from Illinois who was brought up as boy watching the Duke - have been hooked ever since - I just picked up the Blue-Ray DVD of "The Cowboys" and I am just thrilled with the quality of the picture - it looks absolutely fantastic on my new 55" Vizio LCD TV. The added features also got me into looking at a lot of the historical aspects of the film, including the history behind the William Dale Jennings' novel (interesting story there), as well as the the various set locations - all of his westerns have such fantastic locations - it's my dream to go visit all of the sites at some point in my life - True Grit in CO, The Cowboys in NM and CO, Rooster Cogburn at the Rogue River in Oregon - most of those places are still very much unsettled and as wild as they were portrayed in his films.

Anyway, I could go on, but like most everyone here, the above rambling kind of tells you a little bit about me - looking forward to learning more as I sift through the endless message threads on this board!!!
