Curious, because the Ponderosa, as in the show, was located on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and for years was a tourist trap. You can't see it from the road. You'd have to park in the lot next to the highway then get a hay ride up the mountain to the studio lot where the town was also located.I was driving with a friend to Plumas, CA and started to get a weird feeling that I had been there before while we were still a ways out of town but I absolutely knew that I had never been to that part of CA and my friend asked me if anything looked familiar and I was confused AF but said yes. He told me that we were driving by the ranch that was the Ponderosa on TV.
