Awesome find, Monte. Well worth the hike. Wonder what the oven was used for.

Interesting ! just across the Colorado/New Mexico border about 50 mi west of Ratan There was a town named Catskill with a rail line to and from Trinadad, they were logging the trees to make Charcole and I believe there are some Beehive ovens still there . the Town is long gone and the land is owned by Ted Turner his Vermargo Ranch
my G.Grandfather is buried there .
