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