The stairs were very overgrown, but not that difficult to maneuver. We used to hang out here, but never tried to climb these - don't know why. The strangest thing - there was a lot of water running down the stairs, but I can only think of one place it could come from - the other side!! To know that there is some 30 billion gallons of water on the other side, and some of it is trickling through and down, is not a happy thought.
