¤%\=~,,,,, the overgrown maze of the north-eastern ,,,,,~=\%¤

\=~,,,,,,, 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 ,,,,,,,,,,

~,,,,,,,,, abandoned building, what used to house ,,,,,,,,,~
