Our trips to Reno have been fun. The 1st 2 have been with Oma & Opa, & the VanderHoevens. I'm going to talk about the 2nd time going. It was in June of 2002. The 1st day we went to the Ponerosa Ranch. Jeff & I love to watch the show but! the trip to the ranch was pretty fun. We took the hay ride up to the breakfast area. It was fun going up. Someone tried to rob the breakfast money. He didn't get away with it.
The breakfast was good. They had scrambled eggs, sasage, bacon, pancakes,juice & it's "all you can eat!" Believe me, we filled up!
Then we went to the playground. This is when Jeff almost broke Chris's fanny. Ask about it. It's hard to put into words. It was acdually funny after we knew Chris was alright.
Then you either took the hay rude to the front of the house or took a walk down the hill. We took the walk. It was around this area that they filmed oart of the outdoor shots. You felt like you were in the show.
Oma & Opa was taking a break.
This was going to be their get away cottage. But we had reservations with the Silver Legacy allready.
When you get to their town there was lots to do. This is Hoss's mine shaft. It throws your balence off big time. It was fun to go through.
This is the rock climbing was. Sarah, Matthew, Michelle. & Aunt Valerie were the only ones who tried to climb. There were 2 winners. Can you guess who they were? Matthew & Sarah. Way to go Matthew & Sarah.
We finnaly made it to the house. They didn't film anything at this house. It was only a replica that was made with permission. The guy who took care of the horses for the crew came up with the idea to build it, the studio gave him the permission & it was built in 1967 & ran until 2004.. The son gave to high land prices & sold.
The 2 hats & vests were the actual ones that were worn by Hoss & Little Joe.
The barn.
I lost the picture of Lake Tahoe. It was the next stop that day. The water was very cold. Below is Virginia City. We went there. Hear we sit at the Delta. Before this shot I was taking a picture of Jeff, Val, their kids & Oma with Jeff's camera & it wouldn't work.. The Ghost?
We took the mine tour. The guid who is behind us, a little drunk.
We took a tour of the Mackay Mansion. We used the money Oma won playing the slots. I thought a ghost was there. There was the curtans moving when no one in the room, windows shut & no ac. Hummmmm!
This is the school they had until 1936.
