nikcap: West of Cache
look
Rusted railroad tracks lay to the west. A chain of godforsaken mountains lies brooding on the southern skyline. A road leads north into unknown land. To the east you see a small creek and a soggy marsh.

Look
The forest is thick, you can not see the forbidden mountains, the rusty railroad track, the road to the north. All you see is forest, swamp, mosquitoes and ticks. Every time you move you get entangled in stickers and biers. You have sticks in your hair and muddy water has slipping into the top of your work shoes. You are beginning to think you've gone the wrong way. Perhaps you'd be more happy in the parking lot of Wal-Mart looking for a film canister under a lamppost skirt?
