My apologies to Boxcar Betty for posting this to her subject line. When you posted your Gato photos to this message, I could not resist. In August 1999,my wife and I, in our 4x4, decided to drive from Chama to Farmington when we came upon Gato. I knew it was there but did not realize beforehand just how fascinating it was. I took many color photos there since the Gomez store still was there. Gomez' granddaughter showed me around but focussed mainly on the Gomez store. 12 years later, I photographed the Gomez Store at the Harmon Estate Park in west Pagosa Springs, where it had been moved in 2000 or 2001. The photos are on Picasa and the direct link to all 30 of them is: [

Enjoy!
