We hold our general meetings on the 4th Monday of each month from September through March of each year. Social time begins at 9:30 AM, with meeting start time at 10 AM. Meetings are held monthly at Wooddale Village Retirement Community, 18616 N. 99th Avenue, Sun City, in the Activities Room. (Located one block north of Union Hills on Concho Dr, just west of 99th Ave.) It is asked that you not walk through the dining room but enter from the outside that is marked. Trail rides (using rental horses or personal horses) are held every Thursday at stables and trails around the valley. Horse ownership is not required. Ride schedules are available at the meetings. Social events are also held during the riding season. Prospective members are welcome to attend any meeting. You must be present at a meeting to join the club. Membership is open to all residents of Sun City, Sun City West, Sun City Grand and Corte Bella.

I take enormous delight in knowing I helped literally millions of faithful Bonanza fans create a once in a lifetime experience... to "relive the legend of Bonanza!" Every year, there were always various national and international filming crews shooting at the ranch. From TV commercials, MTV, travel programs (I think a ground level shot of my boots and spurs must have appeared in almost every country in the world... seems our international friends all have the same fascination with this image). Plus, three Bonanza sequels, "The Next Generation", "Bonanza, The Return", and "Bonanza Under Attack"... the last two I had the pleasure of working with some old friends that I had not run into since we were on the set of "The Sacketts", Ben Johnson and Jack Elam. Not to mention, my opportunity to have one of the most "interesting?" conversations of my life (not my choice... the director said to go sit with him until the stunt was rigged)... chit chatting with, Leonard "Spock" Nimoy. Well, this is just the "tip of the Ponderosa stories iceberg”... Perhaps, like Bonanza, there will be a "sequel" in my writing future. Thanks to Buck for giving us all a look at life on the "Ponderosa", as he saw/lived it... the Arizona Duuude.
