Leon, they are scattered thru the work session reports. Looks like they should be linked here also.

Leon, you might try contacting the Albuquerque office. If there is any historical information that would be the most likely place to find it. There is only one part time volunteer working with those records so please be patient. 505 880 1311

If you need modern day pictures, contact me -soon-. I live here and drive past them every day.

The grass is growing, and when it's up, you lose 50% or more of visibility.

Hey Doug, how about some general shots to put in this folder? As you say, do it know or wait for the weeds to die!

Hey Leon, congrats on moving to Chama and the promotion to Team Leader! If you are looking for historical photos of the stock pens, the Dorman collection is probably the best place to start looking - I believe you can search it online.

Leon- you may know this, but, one of the stock pen gates is outside the carpenter shop, strapped to a luggage wagon. The gate is not quite complete- There are boards cut and lightly tacked on.
