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".
