,,,,«††$## if you follow a dirt road north just ##$††«,,,,
,,,,,«††$# within the second ring, and navigate #$††«,,,,,
,,,,,,«††$ 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". ,,,,,,,,,,
