Summary: Adam receives a telegram from Laura that Will has disappeared. She wants his help to find him again. Little does he know that his search is going to take him out of this world.

A Bonanza/Lost in Space cross-over story.

A trip to California to deliver a bull winds up with Candy being hurt and finding romance.

A continuation from my March 2017 Fan Fic Fun entry.

A sequel to both 'Doubt That the Stars Are Fire' and 'Thirty Six Ways Out of Trouble'.  It has been five years since Joe Cartwright took Bella Carnaby as his wife and nearly twenty since he first met Rosey O'Rourke – a woman he knows his father loves, but one that life and time has conspired to keep away from the Ponderosa. A new threat and an old enemy appear to threaten the Cartwrights – will the end of their collective tale be joy, or tragedy?

Thanksgiving is coming, and strange things start happening at the Ponderosa that involve a giant turkey that only Joe can see, cattle rustlers, and strange grounds for romance.

Written for NaNoWriMo 2017.
