Description

A hundred feet or two downstream from the giant flake/tunnel. This area is comprised of three huge glorious free standing blocks and a "turret". This is a cool shady place that is good for escaping the heat. The blocks and zig-zag shape of the main wall create a number of shady alleyways with lots of corners and aretes. The main wall is called Springfield Alley. The first block encountered is Springfield Elementary, the next block is Springfield Nuclear, and the last block is the Odyssey Block. The turret jutting out between blocks 2 and 3 is cleverly called The Turret.
