" The Old Sourdough and Wachikanoka"

A while back I posted a post titled "I Want To Go Back" in which I mentioned a late night Television program that I used to watch when I was a kid. It was Called "The Old Sourdough and Wachikanoka". It was a show that featured old time classic westerns. It was hosted by two guys who portrayed the characters of "the Old Sourdough" an old west prospector type and his Indian sidekick "Wachikanoka". I have not seen nor heard anything about this show in 25-30 years. I subsequently received a comment on that post from a fellow who goes by the moniker of "Funnybook" He sent me a link to a site called "ga3ry.com".
I went to that site and I'll be damned it was a site devoted to that show and others that the two guys were part of. It was complete with pictures and back stories of the Characters and stories from the show and behind the scenes. What a joy it was. The Old Sourdough" was played by a guy named Andy Moore" and Wachikanoka was played by a guy by the name Of Gary Ferry.

I have never seen these names in any other credits, Till This morning. I was watching an old episode of "Green Acres" and There It was In the closing Credits, The name "Andy Moore" I want to thank "Funnybook" for sending me this link. It brought back many fond memories for me. I have linked it on this blog for any one that would like to check it out. There are some great stories there.

Fishing For Chipmunks.

I recieved an email this morning from my sister Tamie, She invited me to go campng with her and her family at the end of August. They go to a place called Flowers in northern Ca. As much as I would love to go I had to decline because of my Back and Breathing problems. She told me that every time they go the kids "Fish for chipmunks" They tie a peanut to the end of a fishing line(No hook) of course and when the chipmunks take the peanut they reel them in. The Chipmunk hangs on to the peanut till the last second before letting go. They then reward it with a peanut or two, sounds hilarious and does not harm the animal. They also hike to a large waterfall where they can dive into the water. I would really love to go but it will probably be in the triple digits during the day and with emphysema I would not be very comfortable and my back problem would prevent me from hiking up to the waterfall so I would have to stay in camp and that would be a drag. Maybe some other time when the weather is cooler.
