I saw what looked like Colter Shaw's rig - a black GMC towing an Airstream trailer in Dayton, NV on 2/17/24. Was that the rig used in the show?

I couldn't tell if the truck was black or dark blue. The Airstream is unique, though. It's a 2016 Pendleton 27FB. They were made for the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service and only 100 were made.

Is the halfway house the same building used in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

I watched them filming today at a house a couple blocks from my place in Pitt Meadows, BC. Justin was there, and so was his black truck. I watched a couple of short scenes. He’s a tall guy!

Ep 2: 21025 Yeomans Crescent Langley; the quarry again.
Ep 3: Woodhaven Parking Lot in Belcarra; Horseshoe Bay Drive, right by Highway 99.

Episode three first scene has me confused. It says Idaho, but Idaho does not have any large bodies of water with islands. They could have maybe passed it off as Oregon, but it’s a hard buy in for Idaho. I love seeing my BC in this show.

The location for episode 6 taking place in Lexington, Ky, was a very bad decision. NOTHING in that episode came close to resembling Ky, let alone the Lexington area, at all. I was very disappointed.

Agreed regarding the locations used in Lexington. Absurd that anyone would think that BC could stand in for Lexington, KY.

Ran into Justin and Sophia at one of our favorite restaurants in Vancouver back on Jan 19th. They were so kind! Talked for a few minutes with them about my brother’s ties to Froggy’s bar from the beginning of This is Us. They even bought us dessert! Exciting to see how the show is going.
