    How cool! I was the foreman that built the main road Mar Vista Dr. To Leos ranch in early 90s. Placed water lines to ranch broken during road construction. Was on the ranch several times but not open. Small world. Did not all the facts. Thanks so much for the historic visit. Your the best. Thanks Jeff!

    Husband speaking, i'm 78, I lived each week for the Cisco kid to come on. I never would have guessed that Leo was as old as he was playing
    his part as Poncho. He rode and moved like a young man. I don't remember the ad where Leo is pushing Weber bread, I do remember Annie Oakley
    pushing Wonder Bread that helps build strong bodies 8 ways. Growing up with all the cowboy heros, at our young age or even into young adults, we
    never think that the actors had lives beyond their movie or tv roles. This is the History I really like. Kids today have really missed out.

      He was greatly saddened by the coastal oil wells on old Rancho land. I was read that he ran into some Spanish Don folks when he went into a dry cleaners for his silk shirts. To his great joy he found his old Rancho friends who owned the cleaners. He played on their old Spanis Don ranch as a boy and lost touch. They sold their ranch unwittingly to oil people who ruined it. Partly because of that he became huge on conservation. He did alota good that way. God bless him. His TV show was the only TV show I ever really loved as a kid. Carillo was so alive!

    Jeff and Sarah, thanks for bringing up some great memories from my childhood. The Cisco Kid and his Compadre Pancho, were a staple on our small Black and White TV. With my minds eye, I see them riding off into the Sunset after cleaning up the bad guys. "Oh Cisco, Oh Pancho" then, much laughter. These were great, Golden days for "aspiring" wannabe Cowboys.
    Again, thanks.

    I loved watching reruns of the Cisco Kid when I was growing up (around 1967-1969). Leo's character, Pancho served as great comic relief in each episode. They would conclude every episode with the lines, "Hey, Pancho! Hey, Cisco", before riding off into the sunset as that great Spanish-flavored Western theme music played. Great show! Thanks for taking us on the tour of his ranch with you! :)

      Thanks for watching! I'm glad part of it is still intact but was really shocked to see that photo of the ranch by itself back in the 1940s -- no other developments around. California is getting way too crowded but lots of folks are moving out of state because of what is happening here politically. The cost of living, traffic congestion, cost of housing and homeless encampments everywhere are all danger signs.

    I enjoyed this MORE than I can tell you! I first became aware of him watched old movies growing up in a suburb of Detroit. Then his series began while I was the right age to get excited about watching that. Later I became aware of his ranch and his conservation efforts in California but I had NEVER had the chance to view the ranch!!!! I can’t explain why I enjoyed his performances so much, perhaps it was the joviality often seen in his later in life characterizations. He certainly was an interesting fellow with a distinguished family history. Thank You 😊 again!!!!!

Where this place is. was a famous race track for motorcycles. remember the movie on any Sunday.

    As a child, the Cisco Kid and Pancho were among my favorite Western stars. "Oh, Cisco!" "Oh, Pancho!"
    I've lived in San Diego County since the late 70s, and did not realize Leo's rancho was nearby in Carlsbad. If you know, is it now owned by the City of Carlsbad or a private organization? I worry that as the memory of such as Carillo fade, their homes, museums, and artifacts will fade, too. I reference the fate of Roy Rogers' & Dale Evans' museum and home.
    Thanks for the interesting tour.

    Excellent. Brightens and warms the cold areas of some viewers. Also in Carlsbad is Army and Navy Academy Military School. It's rather historic and many famous entertainers and world leaders have sent their kids there.

    Leo did the movie Horror Island which I think it was his only mystery or horror movie for universal studio. Nice job showing the Ranch. It neat to have history preserved so future generations can look into the past.

    Democrats back in the old days share little in common with modern day Democrats so I'm not surprised he helped the Republican with his election. Loved the Cisco Kid....excellent video.

    I knew about Leo Carillo but it sure was nice to see his ranch. I'm 79 and can't imagine doing what he did at 70. He didn't look his age. A great guy who did a lot of good.

    "Hey........, Cisco!"
    I watched a few episodes of The Cisko Kid. It was off the air before I was even born in 59.
    The ranch is pretty cool. I like the desert also. He had a nice place.

    Wasn’t this farm on an episode of California’s gold with Huel Howser. It’s a good thing Sara’s animal attraction didn’t work here with the snakes. What a beautiful place. Thanks for the tour Jeff and Sarah.

    Love this episode! Leo Carrillo could trace his lineage back past Hilario Carrillo, who was born in Mexico of Spanish parents. It was a large family and is considered one of the founding families of California dating back to the 1700's. My wife can trace her lineage back to the same Hilario Carrillo and through marriages and births, is related to Leo (although it's distant!). I've learned more about California history doing genealogy than I ever did in schools!!! Thanks for this tour.
