The Fullness of Time finally bears fruit, but not without adventure. This is mostly John and Victoria's story but it is Buck to the 'rescue.' (Just don'y say that in front of John.). Not my characters or property. No copyright infringement intended.

Just before Christmas, Manolito and Blue meet with the Apaches. John plans for the next spring's cattle drive. But a twist happens in Christmas week...

As Manolito and Mercedes settle their affairs, Don Domingo complicates things.

Manolito overextends himself between Rancho Rivertree and Rancho Montoya. Everyone is concerned. After a family discussion, a solution is reached. But will it happen?

After Hermosillo, matters start to come to a head. Manolito worries about Ranchos Montoya and Rivertree. The Tavern Victoria opens in Tucson.

The Cannons, Montoyas and De la Vegas bring Sebastian to Hermosillo for burial. Sparks fly. A new Don emerges...

After returning from Los Angeles, preparations are under way to bring Sebastian's body to Hermosillo. Angelina tries to fit in.

The Cannons and Montoyas balance living with maintaining their guard. A telegram brings a warning. A "delivery" to the Chaparral tosses a gauntlet down in front of John and Victoria. Another confrontation further threatens the balance between the two sides of the border. And in the middle of all of that, Penny goes into labor! r and r!

When the railroad comes to Tucson, benefits and issues arise...

Everyone seeks to move forward. Manolito helps Ricardo and Maria find a new rancho. Blue adjusts to impending fatherhood. Everyone comes to grips with the new threats south of the border.

An unexpected and talented visitor to the High Chaparral makes a lasting contribution to the ranch.

After coming north with the Cannons, Don Ricardo and Countess Maria seek to start their new life together. How will this work out? Can the Cannons and Montoyas help?

Worlds collide at Rancho Montoya. Two long lost family members accompany Don Ricardo back there. The Countess Maria returns from Europe. The Cannons drop in for their visit. Let the sparks fly...

So what did happen to Blue Boy between seasons 3 and 4. Just my take. Not my characters/no copyright infringement intended. (Only gave it a T rating because of a small bout of swearing.)

Manolito and Blue ride around the rancho to survey the landscape. They discover the Apaches as well.

The Cannons and Montoyas celebrate Christmas. Meantime old friends in the clergy arrive in Tucson. Miguel opens the new church. There are more insights into Ricardo's crate and the trip to Old Los Angeles.

I think a lot of High Chaparral fans, specifically John and Victoria fans, wanted this to happen. This is just my take. Not my characters/no copyright infringement intended.

The Cannons and Montoyas receive wonderful news from San Francisco. Problem is will they be allowed to enjoy it?

This is just a little story about a not so excellent adventure John and Buck might have had when they were kids. The show is never says what they age gap between them is, so for my purposes, John is about 12/13 in this story and Buck is 4/5 years younger. As ever, not my characters, no copyright infringement intended.

Mano and Mercedes move onto their new rancho. Nothing comes easily however...

As everyone settles back in and new ventures are started, a woman and her daughter return...

This short story takes place a few weeks after Time to Laugh, Time to Cry. Again, not my characters, no copyright infringement intended.

It's time for Manolito, Mercedes, Blue and Penny to get married. All the preparations are done. But nothing at the Rancho Montoya is ever easy. Is it? (The OC mentioned in the pairings list is Penny by the way.) Mano/Mercedes, Blue/Penny

I think Ten Little Indians is an interesting HC episode in a lot of different ways. Including the insight and wisdom shown by Choddi. But, of course, it is mostly about the children and their impact on those on the ranch. This seemed like it might be a nice coda. Not my characters/no copyright infringement intended.

Before heading south for the weddings, the Cannons have issues to deal with. Don Ricardo, Manolito and Mercedes go to see the new rancho.
