  The beach is wide and sandy. It follows the curve of the bay to the east and eventually bends south and disappears behind the cliffs. To the west it ends at a jumble of fallen rock.
  
  > examine the cliffs
  The view of the cliffs towering over the beach is awe-inspiring.
  
  > examine the map
  It's a sales brochure for Plasti-Side, Inc.'s complete line of vinyl home products, including siding, trim, shutters, gutters, and storm doors. There's a map drawn on the back of it.
  
  > read the map
  The front of the sales brochure contains the standard vinyl siding marketing spiel.
  
  The back of the brochure is much more interesting. The drawing is crudely sketched, but there's no doubt that it's some kind of map. It shows a small beach bordered on both sides by fallen rocks and backed by a cliff. There's an arrow pointing to some bushes next to a large boulder on the southwest side. Behind one of the bushes is marked a bold X.

  You can see why J. Daggett's great-grandfather chose this site for his estate. The view from the top of the cliff is breathtaking. The bay stretches out before you. A wide expanse of sandy beach lies below. The day is sunny and relatively calm, with only a slight onshore breeze. A gentle swell rolls onto the sand.
  
  A wide, sandy path leads down to the beach. The bare footpath leads back toward the garage to the southwest.
  
  > go to the west
  You leave the cliffs behind and head back toward the garage. A brisk hike soon brings you to the opening you cleared while trimming the hedge.
  
  To the north the driveway ends at the entrance to a large garage. You count six bay doors for vehicles, as well as a side entry door for those on foot. The neatly trimmed hedge continues along the west side of the driveway to the garage. A bare footpath passes through the hedge to the east then bends northeast toward the cliffs overlooking the ocean. The driveway leads back to the south.
  
  > go inside
  The garage interior is divided into five open parking bays and a service bay equipped with a hydraulic lift and an air compressor. A classic Jaguar E-Type convertible sits on the lift. The lift is currently up.
  
  A battered old canoe hangs on the wall in bay four.
  
  A large red tool cabinet sits under the canoe.
  
  A bicycle is parked in bay two. Its front wheel is secured by a bicycle lock.
  
  > examine the air
  You see no air here.
  (Not like in L.A. You actually can see the air there.)
  
  > look at the compressor
  The compressor is a heavy duty self-contained unit that starts automatically when the air pressure in its tank drops below a preset level. There's a quick-connect for attaching an air hose.
  
  > attacthe quick-connect to the tube
  (first standing in the service bay)
  You can't attach that to the inner tube.
  
  > knock on the door
  There's not much point in bothering the old gardener further. You already have everything you're going to get from him.
  
  > Go up
  There's only so much you can carry up a tree. You'd better leave the sharp hedge clippers, the leaf rake, and the peanut sack here.
  
  > DROP CLIPPERS, RAKE, SACK
  sharp hedge clippers: Dropped.
  leaf rake: Dropped.
  peanut sack: Dropped.
  
  > Go upward
  It's been a long time since you last did much tree climbing, but you're willing to give it a try. You grab one of the lower branches and pull yourself up.
  
  You pause to catch your breath at a point that is about ten feet above the ground. The branch under your feet is thick and sturdy, and the trunk beside you is reassuringly massive. You can clearly see the peanut sack lying on the ground directly below you.
  
  > Go upwards
  The branches aren't quite so thick and sturdy here. You can feel them swaying slightly under you with the wind. Every once in awhile the leaves part enough for you to catch a glimpse of the peanut sack lying on the ground some twenty-five feet below.
  
  There is a three-inch wide hole in the trunk here. It contains a huge pile of acorns.
  
  > take the acorn
  The hole is a tight fit, but you manage to squeeze your hand through and grab an acorn from the pile.
  
  Just as you do the squirrel returns, this time taking up sentry duty on a nearby branch. Apparently concerned by your discovery of his hidey-hole, he watches warily as you paw around among his stash of acorns.
  
  > examine the sack
  You can catch an occasional glimpse of the peanut sack full of clippings on the ground far below.
  
  > put the peanut in the sack
  The peanut sack is too far away.
  
  > show peanut to the squirrel
  You take one of the peanuts in your free hand and hold it out to where the squirrel can see it. He sniffs and chitters excitedly.
  Apparently he likes peanuts even better than acorns.
  
  > drop the peanut
  You drop three peanuts, and watch as they fall out of sight through the leaves below. The squirrel is tempted to chase after it, but ultimately decides that the safety of his entire stash of acorns is more important. He remains on station, watching warily.
  
  > give the peanut to the squirrel
  You take one of the peanuts in your free hand and hold it out to where the squirrel can see it. He sniffs and chitters excitedly. He moves cautiously toward you. You hold very still.
  
  Closer...
  Cloooser...
  
  He snatches the peanut, and drops his acorn! It falls out of sight through the branches below. He scampers back out of reach to consume his prize. You have two peanuts left.
  
  > drop the acorn
  You release the acorn and withdraw your hand from the hole.
  
  Satisfied that his stash of acorns is safe, the squirrel takes off down the trunk of the tree in search of the acorn he dropped.
