OK, let's see if I can get this right, since it's my first "generic" post.

Mercer ruin is reportedly one of the biggest ruins in AZ, and it's often completely under the water of Horseshoe Lake.
The Photoset is my excursion there. First I tried to get there by Jeep, but it looked to me like the river was just too high, so I first decided to walk from the reservoir itself. It turns out the bed of the reservoir is so full of large rocks, at least for what looks like the first mile or so, it's way too slow walking trying to hop from one to the other.

So I came back a third time with my mountain bike and biked there. Or actually biked near there, stashed the bike, and bushwacked to the ruin. It was after sunset when I got back to the bike but I got to bike back in moonlight, which was kind of awesome.

Attached are the pix.
