A Worn Wagon Trail Through the Forest 
  Here begins what appears to be a wagon trail deep into the woodland.  Great
trees shadow the land to the east and to the west seems to be some structure
which houses the pioneers of these woodlands.  The wind is chill, a sign that
winter is on the horizon.  Gruff voices can be heard in the distance, a sign
of life in this often quiet forest.  With a little hope, you could reach the
outpost in hours.
 
[Exits: east west]
A weary traveler trudges along the road, wiping sweat from his brow.

  You come to a larger trail that begins to form a road.  It is quite
apparent that travel is often made through here, as most of the ground
is scuffed by the hooves of oxen and horses.  Surveying the area about
you, you see that much of this road was once probably part of what
was a forest.  Smaller, stunted trees are to the south of this trail
and to the north of you are plains stretching towards a vast expanse
of mountains.  Further south are snow-capped peaks that look rather
foreboding.  Along the road dust rises up, leading towards a small
wooden barrier to the west and stretching through the forest to the east.
