,,,~^^*¤¶# if you follow a dirt road north just #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ within the second ring, and navigate ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# the overgrown maze of the north-eastern #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## residential district, eventually you ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# arrive at what looks like a large #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ fenced-in grove of bird cherry and ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# juniper. it's quite large, #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## and will take a while to circle, ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# especially since it's got gardens and #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ walls sticking out of it in more than a ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# few places. but keep going, and #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## eventually there'll be lilacs, and a ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# hole in the fence. #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# go inside. well, it's hollow, and hides #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## a pale swamp (herons, mosquitos). it's ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# brighter here, and the sounds of the #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ city seem distant. but there's a second ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# grove inside. zig zag between puddles #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## and sinking shipping containers, ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# because toward the inner treeline the #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ ground becomes solid again. ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## go inside. this time there's a cracked ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# parking lot, with sprinkled dandelions, #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ lined by wisteria. east of it is an ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# abandoned building, what used to house #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## an old restaurant. the paint is ##¶¤*^^~,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# chipping, some windows are broken, but #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,,,~^^*¤¶ the signage is still there: ¶¤*^^~,,,,
,,,~^^*¤¶# #¶¤*^^~,,,
,,~^^*¤¶## "indian palace". ##¶¤*^^~,,
