I thought my fellow M*A*S*H fans might be interested in this news, taken from the main page of M*A*S*H, Finest Kind (http://www.finest-kind.net/):

California State Parks has announced a "long overdue" restoration of the historic M*A*S*H site at Malibu Creek State Park (external scenes for M*A*S*H were filmed there). A full press release is expected shortly, but until then here is a statement from Brian Rooney, M*A*S*H Restoration Project Manager for California State Parks:

"The heavy brush has been cleared away, the iconic signpost is now rebuilt, markers will show where the tents were during filming and more. California State Parks is inviting the public to the historic set on February 23rd for a grand gathering to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the finale of M*A*S*H."

Mr. Rooney was kind enough to send along a photograph showing the new signpost as well as the remains of an ambulance and a jeep used in filming the series. In the background is the helipad. You can see the photograph here (http://www.finest-kind.net/) (scroll down a little).

More information on the February 23rd unveiling can be found at Hollywood Escapes (http://www.hollywoodescapes.com/events.html).

That's great news!

I have always wanted to visit that location to see where they had the outdoor set, but I had heard that nature had reclaimed the site, and the Jeep and Ambulance were the only thing left.

It would really be cool to see the camp cleared again.

That ambulance could use an ambulance! ;)

That area is not far from where I live. It is a short drive. That area should not have been allowed to get that way, for the simple fact that fires plague Malibu almost every year. It is a beautiful area to visit.

AWESOME! :D

would love to go visit when they're done! that's sweet!
