Story

The stream was flowing fairly high and was covering the road, so we parked at the 2WD parking area and hiked in. The kids were miserable and didn't want to hike. Also there were lots of mosquitoes. We were following directions that had the ruins in the wrong spot, so we spent a little bit of extra time searching around before we found them. Once we found the ruins though, the mood picked up and everyone had a great time exploring and taking pictures.
