Its kind of depressing to see the current situation of Gato, the last time I was there was '89.
The current status of the gondola in Gato...complete and solid, however, I bet it wont last too long. the sides of the car are starting to lean.
Here is a picture of the bridge. While it still seems sound, most of all the wood is rotted. THe rails are still in pretty good condition, but most of the tie plates are missing spikes, or have let go.
and finally the water tower. it is truly sad to see these things happen. maybe one day someone will win the lottery and up keep some of these places before this happens.
