@#@*^/=^¨¨ 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". ¨^=/^*@#@#
