The location for hitchhiker is probably outside of El Paso along the Santa Fe line. The station sign appears to be for "White" TX. Best guess is that it's near the intersection of Doniphan Dr. and W Sunset. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the name of the last hotel the bears stayed in across from the dome?
ReplyDeleteHouston Hilton
DeleteThe motel location is possibly Wilcox, Arizona.
ReplyDeleteHello, thank you for the suggestion. I looked and looked at it and I don't think it was the same place.
DeleteThe baseball practice fields in Houston are at Bayland Park.

WOW! Can't believe Bayland Park is still there. I played baseball and F.U.N. football there 48 years ago.
DeleteI am really glad to know about this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete•(0:48) Coach Leak Watching The Bears Practice / Eastwood Park; 5070 Harrison Blvd, Houston
ReplyDeleteits actually 5020 Harrisburg Blvd.
Houston, TX. 77011.
The hitchhiker is in El Paso and it is Doniphan street right of Mesa street. I recognized the park and the fire station in the background.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info. I have updated the page. If you want credit for the find let me know and I will credit you. Do you know anything about the missing Desert Breeze Motel location?
DeleteThe Fire station is located at 115 shorty lane and Charl Ann street. It is Fire station number 15 in El Paso, TX. off of Doniphan st. The name of the park is White Spur and they have it listed at 4800 Love Rd. Opposite side of Shorty Lane.
ReplyDeleteJust some history on the white church mentioned above, where they play the baseball game around the cemetery. The mission was rebuilt at its current location in 1843 after the Old Socorro Mission was destroyed by a devastating flood in 1829. The name of the white church is Socorro Mission. Hope this helps anyone that looks at the photos you posted from El Paso, Texas. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am still researching the Desert Breeze Motel. I have googled different motels. What I'm thinking is that another Motel company either bought it out and remodeled it. I will continue to look into. As soon as I find information I will post it. I found a Motel in Flagstaff, AZ. that kind of resembles it. I will continue to research.
ReplyDeleteLots of kids from my school in Friendswood, TX were extras in the Astrodome. We lived about 30 miles south of Houston.
ReplyDeleteCool thanks for the info. One of my favorite movies.
DeleteDo you know where they filmed the pool hall where Kelly get mad at the coach and then takes off to the pool hall.
ReplyDeleteThe Desert Breeze Motel is located at 1884 Fabens Rd, Fabens, TX
ReplyDeleteThank You Paul. Really Appreciate That Mystery Being Solved.
DeleteDoes anyone know the name and the location and what city and state was the scene was filmed where Carmen goes to the store and buys the the Playboy magazines????
ReplyDeleteGary I listed this location recently. The store was right next to the motel
DeleteYour address for the girl hitchhiker is in-correct.The address of the exact location where she was standing is 4820 Doniphan Dr....Also your address for the Cemetery where the boys play ball is not in El Paso according to Google street view.It's in Socorro,TX.
ReplyDeleteHi,I have located 3 locations for this movie...The location where Kelly waves at the cops,the location of the drive in where the bears meet with the Indians,and the location of the CIRCLE K.Would appreciate a credit to me for finding these as it took about a week of looking!.....
ReplyDeleteSure e-mail me and we can go from there.
DeleteWhat is the restaurant they ate in the one scene, can't remember what they were doing there but appears to be a BBQ place.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant is Texas Bar-B-Que House at 2401 Texas Avenue. Just had a conversation with the owner about this.
