Dusty's Trail

Featuring the following:

• Dusty (Bob Denver 1935-??) - the dim-witted, but well-meaning scout who got them lost in the first place.
• Callahan (Forrest Tucker 1919-1986) - the Wagonmaster. Tucker is more recognizable by his character in F-Troop: "Sgt. Morgan O'Rourke."
• Mr. Carson Brookhaven (Ivor Francis 1918-1986) - The wealthy Bostonite who was just traveling with his lovely wife...
• Mrs. Brookhaven (Lynn Wood ??-??) - adoring wife of the wealthy Mr. Brookhaven.
• Andy (William "Bill" Cort 1936-1993) - the "Engineer".
• Betsy (Lori Saunders 1941-??) - schoolmarm. Better known as Bobbie Jo Bradley in "Petticoat Junction".
• Lulu McQueen (Jeannine Riley 1939-??) - Saloon girl. Also better known as Billie Jo Bradley in "Petticoat Junction".

Premiering in 1973, but only lasting half a season in syndication, this was Sherwood Schwartz's attempt to revive the tired formula from the original Gilligan's Island series - right down to casting Bob Denver as the Gilligan-like scout the show is named after. Much like the famous castaways, this little troupe finds themselves astray as a direct result of Dusty's inept guiding. Naturally, much hilarity ensues as they try to make their way across the wild west.

Theme to "Dusty's Trail"

Let's follow the path of Dusty's Trail
Oh, Dusty's Trail
Dusty's Trail
A stage and a wagon a-headin' west
Part of a wagon train lost from the rest
Dusty's the reason for their plight;
Thanks to Dusty, nothin's right
Only the wagonmaster's hand
Keeps them a-rolling to the promised land.
Oh the going gets mighty rough, but they don't seem to mind
It's Califor-ni-a - that's the place they must find,
Deserts and rocks are in their way,
But they won't stop, come what may
Mountains and hills that they must scale,
But they know they'll make it 'cause they just can't fail
