A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. You have walked up a hill, still in the forest. The road slopes back down the other side of the hill. There is a building in the distance. The road, which approaches from the east, ends here amid the trees. You are wandering aimlessly through the forest. You are wandering aimlessly through the forest. You're at end of road.
