Geographical Information (Re: Ted Castle), 12 December 2005
Author: poohbear109 from United States

Comment on Ted Castle's statements regarding Texas Geography:

1. There is a Baffin Bay in Texas. It is down by Kingsville 2. While there is no Converse County in Texas, there is a town named Converse -- it is east of San Antonio.

I agree, the terrain shown in this movie is nothing like the coastal areas of Texas, it does more resemble California.

Unfortunately, many movie makers substitute California shots for supposed Texas scenes. I think the one I got the biggest kick out of was in 'Footloose'. The movie is supposed to take place in (IIRC) Beaumont, TX, which is just west of the Louisiana state line. If you look closely, you can see mountains in the background -- there are definitely NOT any mountains in that part of Texas.
