I slept in the hammock last night. A nice, cool, dry wind flowed across me the way waves lap a beach. I was up with the birds. Nancy and Moe came out of the camper as I was about to step into the day.
Nancy chose a bowl of cereal. I went the opposite direction with eggs, toast, and coffee. Fueled for the morning hike, we headed to the trail to the waterfalls. Well worth the hike.
On the way back to the campsite, we found an old stone structure on a side hill next to the picnic area. Nestled among tables and barbecue grills is a stone pavilion similar to this structure on the hill. I decided to wander up to look at this interesting stone ruin. I found the remains of an old restroom.
Back from the hike, I mustered up enough energy, it is hot already, to clean my bike from that mud incident. After I took Moe to the office to buy sodas, I asked about the ruin. The answer was that it was it was one of the original park buildings, built by the CCC in the 1930s. I also learned that a short hike away are what was once a CCC camp with buildings, a blacksmith shop, a carpentry shop, and a slew of other buildings. I’m hoping we get to explore this camp while we are here.
