Hills in Kansas?????

Does anyone know where Jericho is really being filmed?
For the last few episodes we keep seeing those large hills in the background. Don't think this is Kansas!
Looks more like California to me, would love to know the real deal.
Awesome scene at the end with Hawkins sitting on the tank overlooking those hills!!!

Just found the answer to my question. If anyone would like to read the whole article (it is very long) just go to www.tv.com. Very interesting story about Jericho.

The pilot, which had already been shot, edited, and screened (aside from a few minor tweaks they are planning), was originally filmed on location in Fillmore, California. To get a better understanding of their shooting schedule, today they wrapped the second episode. Tomorrow they shoot the last day to wrap the third, and Thursday they move on to the first day of shooting episode four. This tactic was scheduled simply because the parking meters were installed only yesterday, and thus all exterior shots were pushed together and grouped to shoot day after day this week.

With that, camera B is set up and ready, and we're rolling.

Down the road, Skeet Ulrich, who plays Jake Green, drives up in the school bus I remember from the pilot. He jumps out, meeting his brother in front of City Hall, and they quickly discuss the situation. I can't quite hear what they are saying, not because I am too far away, but because a wind fan is blowing close behind me to make the leaves in the trees flow back and forth. They do only two takes from this angle.

Kansas isn't as flat as you think. They have hills along with great farmland. FYI - I am not from Kansas but I have travelled there many times. Do you find this valuable?

Jericho is not filmed in Kansas. They may have taken a few shots from Kansas. I saw one episode where they were driving along I-70 and I viewed a sign indicating the miles to Salina and Kansas City. But your post indicates that you believe Kansas to be flat. It isn't. We do not have mountains, but we do have some very hilly areas, such as the Flint Hills around Manhattan. Do you find this valuable?
