Indian Ruins

We drove out to some Indian ruins close to Whiteriver, Az. It was a scenic drive. Here are some mountains we passed on the way out there.

And the city of Whiteriver.
And here are the ruins. It was a little windy but a fun place to explore.

Here's Jeff standing in front of some of them.

And the only other people up there took this picture for us. Notice the clouds behind us. They were sure getting dark. It actually started raining right after we left. 
Just another view. 
And Jeff...again. Here you can clearly see the two floors.
And me. Showing the ruins from a distance. 
We would have explored a little more, but we didn't exactly have the permit you were supposed to pick up in a the town 15 (give or take) miles away.  It was also at a danger of flash floods and there was a storm coming in. 

About 5 miles from the place we stayed were the Reservations. It was funny because it looked like the middle of nowhere, but right passed the border of the reservation was the casino. You went around the corner in the mountains and there was a huge flashing sign and a huge building. Nothing else around at all. Too bad we didn't win anything. Actually we didn't even try. We have so little money that we can't take the chance of losing it. We wandered around for maybe 5 minutes before leaving and we smelled like smoke the rest of the night. It was awful.
