That was cool. I am from Denver and am watching Scarecrow on TCM. THANK YOU
Ivan- this is Michele. I found you!
I’m going mad because I can’t work out where the first scenes were filmed at the beginning when they first meet whilst hitchhiking. Does anyone know? It looks like northern California because the scenery is similar to that in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.
Thanks for any help.
I live in Ojai, Ca. and ride motorcycles on many backroads and I have been on that road. It has to be somewhere north of Ojai I can’t forget those rocks coming out of the ground. I hope when I am on that road again I will remember this movie. Kern or SLO county.
Bakersfield
It WAS California, but that’s as specific as I can be. There’s a podcast episode of The Projection Booth on iTunes dedicated to Scarecrow, provides some great info. Interviews with dir. Schatzberg and writer Garry Michael White.

At about 23:15 of the movie, they get out of a blue truck on road #447, 2.3 miles northwest of Wadsworth, Nevada, at the junction of Olinghouse Road.

Found the opening road location. It’s Garces Highway (CA-155), with the exact location being at 35.7411702, -118.8717478.
Does anyone know if that railroad bridge is still in existence that they crossed over at: 28:00?
there was a short spot in the film where the two were picking apples i believe it was in Michigan, somewhere?
