Really cool ruins site. We anchored here just for a little visit to hike around.

Another boater had told us that they had recently bushwhacked a trail… great we thought. Haha, buuuut there wasn’t a trail we could find. Lol.

Brian spent a lot of time doing some bushwhacking of his own.

To top it off, we found a beautiful waterfall at the end. Not everyone in our group had gotten that far.

Maui had a great time too. She was a really good girl and off leash staying right by our sides the whole time. Because of the terrain it was just easier to have her off leash.
