Subject: Happy Birthday Mike & Ponderosa Scenery, you're 12 years online!!

I published this site and about 30 people jumped onboard on October 31, 2000. I choose Mike Landon's birthday and in memory of him. That was a long time ago! Since then, Led Zeppelin regrouped in 2007 and Lucas sold "Star Wars' to Disney! CHEERS!

Current page views are over 9 million and visits over 2 million.

Thanks again SWC, and I read over at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoss_Cartwright that: "The opening scene for the first season was shot at Lake Hemet*, a reservoir in the San Jacinto Mountains, Riverside County, California, and later moved to Lake Tahoe."

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Hemet

& http://ponderosascenery.homestead.com/files/hemet.html
"Today that part of the lakeshore is a campground. You can see Thomas Mountain** behind Ben."

** of a modern-day back woods commercial camp-ground over there too: http://www.hikercentral.com/campgrounds/115193.html

On the famous deleted theme song from the end of episode one!

Even by the low standards of the goofy "A Rose for Lotta", that's an awful scene.

Agreed. And a poor quality copy to boot. Here are some bits and pieces of the infamous Cartwright singing scene, but with better resolution.

Congratulations "old timer"! (;-)

Or as Walter Brennan would have said: "No Brag, Just Fact."
