CARTWRIGHT

"In the meantime, let me get back to the beach, which also has a Wild West angle. Way back in 1979, as my colleague Tony Barboza reported on Sunday, "Bonanza" stars Lorne Greene and Michael Landon donated beach property to the public in the name of Dan Blocker, who played Hoss Cartwright on the show. The deal was that it had to be used as a "public park for recreation purposes." It ended up under L.A. County control in 1997, and the state Coastal Conservancy coughed up a $700,000 grant in 2004 to help get Dan Blocker County Beach up and running."
