Stone Walkway                                          -      N      -

The path before you is made up of small, interlocking slabs of sandstone
that have been greatly worn down by various storms over the years.  One can
easily see where the walkway has been patched, as new stones are
interspersed amongst the ancient ones.  This formerly grand retreat resides
on higher ground, to the north.  You can hear the lapping of the water
against the docks to the south becoming increasingly rough.
