Access Issue: Access is always an issue here.

Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

[Hide Comment] Asleep at the Wheel is not anywhere near the wizard as Childre points out. Just don't go looking for it over there. It is across the stream from Aerial Anticipation.
