Bonanza Comeback
Figure [1]: The Ponderosa Ranch is located near Carson City and Reno in the state of Nevada.

Michael When our TiVo recently picked up a rerun of the Western series "Bonanza," which I used to greatly enjoy as a young lad, I noticed a map at the beginning of the show that displayed the location of the Ponderosa Ranch. Ha! It's right near Reno and Carson City in the state of Nevada, a bit north of Las Vegas! We must have unknowingly driven by there on one of our road trips.

Oh, memory! The main characters Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene, died 1987), Little Joe (Michael Landon, died 1991), and Hoss (Dan Blocker, died 1972) have been dead for a long time. The Bonanza entry on Wikipedia.org brings everything back to life for a moment. How time flies.
