I am too young to have watched Cannon when it first aired, however I own a property in Julian at this filming location and that is how I first learned about the Cannon series.
What I like about this episode is that Cannon used a lot of real life filming locations and the town of Julian has been captured of what it looked like back in 1971.
A lot has changed since then, yet Julian, Ca is a historical district, so a lot of it looks the same today as well. It is fun to watch this episode and think how this real life gold town was isolated from Coastal San Diego, Ca about 50 miles away at a time with no Internet and a still rural farming life.
You can visit Julian today and it has more tourist and vacation rentals, but it is isolated and still has the feeling at night when tourist and locals are at home that Cannon could be walking around at night to the cemetery that is at the end of Main Street still to this day where he went to find Roper.
