located outside the main section of town.

the yard.

the fence.

is covered with scenes of trees and
flowers and green lakes and swans and an
ocean scene.
- The front gate is made of
two iron gates from an old estate.
- Green Gate One is located
100 yards past the front gate where an
ocean scene is painted on the fence. A
fish is in the ocean scene; to enter
Green Gate One, you push the eye of the
fish. Two green boards then swing up,
giving entrance to a corner of the
salvage yard that has Jupiters
outdoor workshop.

of the corners, presumably the corner
that corresponds to the front corner
where Jupes workshop is located.
- Red Gate Rover is so named
because a dog is painted as part of the
scene and was named "Rover" by
the boys. To gain entrance, you remove
the knothole that makes up Rovers
eye and then undo a catch inside the hole.
Three boards swing up.
