Pogo sticks! My mom used to tell the story about how she was packing me off to college and was getting a little weepy about the first chicken growing up and leaving the nest, when she saw my pogo stick leaning up against my suitcase. She said she felt better....I wasn't THAT grown up.

Back to the OP, remember our family rushing home from Sunday Night Church Service to get ready
for 'Bonanza'.
My mom had Lorne Greene's album and this was her favorite song.
She played it so much, I knew every word.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....Classic!!
Seems like a lifetime ago, my husband and I went to Lake Tahoe on vacation. We did not know it at the time but apparently Bonanza was filmed there. We did go pass that area but it was not open to the public at that time. Still made me happy, it was/is such a beautiful place. We were on north shore in a town called Incline Village. The hubs skied while I gambled and ate blueberry muffins. The only TV I could pick up in the condo were reruns of Hawaii 5 0. LOL
My Mom thought every dark haired handsome man on TV was little Joe, No one could tell her different. After a while we would just say look it's Little Joe. She also thought the man in the Blue Bell Ice Cream commercials was her exhusband. She had also convinced herself that one of those TV real estate twins had come to her house when she was selling her home. We just learned to let her believe what she knew to be true. Needless to say, when she was 87 she had to be placed in assisted living where she made a run for her money. Love you Mom!!

It was one of my favorites. Got to meet Hoss (Dan Blocker) once as a kid, nice guy.
Did you know that the characters almost always wore the same clothes? It was for efficiency, allowed them to use scenes shot for one show on another.
LOL, that's the chair lift at Snow King, Jackson, Wyoming. I rode it and skied the hill often, when the chairs looked just like that. It's a very steep hill, but those ladies are closer to the ground than that picture makes it look. I was on the lift once when the cables came off track, fortunately no one was hurt and I was able to jump to the ground pretty easily.
It's still open, but times have changed.
