The highway takes them north, around the western part of Ivydale's
|
||||
lower side. After a while, they approach what used to be the outskirts of
|
||||
Sentinel Shores and Michelle takes an exit, getting them onto a rural
|
||||
road. The observatory is located on a hill, now ahead of them; a small
|
||||
group of buildings in the distance.

Michelle parks the truck on what remains of the large paved area between

the buildings and they get out. Trees and bushes grow all over the place,

some even out of the windows and through the roofs of the buildings.
