This is Wonderful for me! The fella who played Chato was my Grandpa in real life. I love you Grandpa and I miss you every single day 💞 !

There is this old Western, set in the Everglades, there is this healer who prepares a compress of herbs for a dog gored by a bull. This ep reminded me of that

On of the rocks when those men are going into the sacred burial grounds looks like an Indian. 😊😊😊😊

I’ve watched this movie twice before but now I’m going to watch it again. I always wondered why the woman didn’t get angry because Adam went meddling in her stuff. 😅😅

[@winonamassingill7895]

Oops, correction. From the knife thrown I guess she did get angry. But now we know that her name is Ruth. 😊

First time I saw Adam hitch it up

[@winonamassingill7895]

So I’ve seen Adam, Hoss and Little Joe and even Ben hitched up before but we also know that the Cartwright men NEVER get the woman in the end. It’s the Cartwright’s fate that the never keep the woman in the end. It just ain’t going to happen!!!!😮😮😮😮😊😊

The coloring of this movie is terrible. However, it’s still worth watching. It a good episode. One of my favorites. Adam also lost the woman in the Hopefuls episode. 😮😮😮😮😢😢😢

I forgot about what a sad ending this movie had. However, I’m curious. What did the windmill have to do with it? We never saw a windmill or heard anything else about it. Guess that was just an excuse for Adam to leave home for awhile. I’m sorry Ruth left the ring but I can see why she did because she and Adam were never going to be able to be together. He would have the ring for someone else. Incidentally, that ring sure came in handy. I wonder how he just happened to have a ring with him and the time when he needed it? Always prepared Adam, hey? 😅😅😅
