 James (Buz) Gillentine of Colorado Loan Consultants On one such trip, they went to visit a friend in Durango who suggested that they drive to Pagosa and look it over. As they were driving through town memories started flooding in. “I would drive past an area and know that I had seen it before.” Buz stated as he recalled that first trip into Pagosa as an adult. His sister would later remind him of the two trips they took as a family to the Pagosa area. “She told me about that after our second vacation here, Dad wanted to sell everything and move to Pagosa Springs. If my mother hadn’t been so opposed to the idea, I could have grown up here.”
