Hi Rick!

It appears that you became a very ambitious fan after 1972! I'm 52, and I wish that I had come accross your web-site before I visited the Ranch myself, a year or so before it closed. I would have enjoyed the trip to the Ranch, and the surrounding area that much more!

I wish I could have joined you on your trip to find all of the locations! These days I watch the show, and challenge myself to identify the 'on location' scenes. (Just for fun!)

Looking forward to the future release of the rest of the seasons.

Thanks!

Gary

There's never a dull moment, Gary! Cheers!

Oh, try Terra Server (Microsoft's Terra, I think) online for Incline Village and I'll bet you find the Camp. First, type in the state and street address and you'll find 100 Ponderosa Ranch Way and you'll see a road (white line) zigzagging to the top. May take you awhile, but you'll find it and you have the elevations listed as they're USGS quad maps. I was there about 10 years ago on the map site and was studying them for reference. Of course, a map in person is useless. Just the eyes and me. BTW: Dave Dortort's big hobby was MAPS. He loved collecting and studying them in all countries.


Rick :)

Thanks! I'll try that if I can figure it out. I can see the roads on "Google maps satellite", I just don't know which road leads to Wagon Camp?

Thanks so much! Until next time

Gary
