Old Catholic Church, west side of town. This church was originally in Hosmer, and during the 60s was moved to Eureka. Several of the men, including our father, donated $1,000 to move this structure 25 miles. Click to enlarge.

I wanted to show Elizabeth where we went to drink when we were in high school. The little town of Artas is nearly a ghost town now. The bar no longer exists, and the city hall is one of the few old buildings still standing. Click to enlarge.
