The Western Boardwalk                                  -      -     NE

                                                        -      S      -

The small gaps between the boards of this makeshift road allow sand to
drift up onto it.  Crews occasionally pass by with water sprinklers to keep
down the dust, though rarely is it successful.  The whole walk has a very
grimy, dusty, dry feeling to it.  Contributing to that feel, beyond the
railing east is a large, churning pool of crude, sandy oil.  Its borders
reach just under the walk on this side.  The boardwalk circles around the
bubbling pool, and the enormous stone hall of history lies to the west.
