About a minute drive from our house, just down the street from our favorite drive-through Starbucks, behind some trees, next to some homes, on the side of a hill overlooking a street, we have ruins.
I have no idea how old they are. I don't know who built them. No one is in charge of caring for them as far as I can tell, there is litter
everywhere. There is even some graffiti. But there they are, still impressive, and very much accessible to climbing on and around.

| A basin. |
 |
| Arches. The keystone looks repaired. |
 |
| Tile flooring |
 |
| A grinding wheel? |
 |
| Steps, |
 |
The rocks used to build the structure
are gorgeous. |

Overlooking the ruins,
our house is across the way. |
We stopped on our way back from walking to the Donut Factory. You gotta do what you gotta do.
If the place was cleaned up it would be awesome for a picnic. On this side there's quite a bit of traffic noise from the street behind, but on the other side there's the side of a hill that leads down to another street that isn't busy.
I feel the need to bring the kids there for some clean-up.
