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".
