a secret path, or if you are supposed to take the document there
rather that to Washington. The information below will get you to
Washington but time runs out before you can hit the up button.

note: this map is off a couple of squares in the center, so it can't
be trusted after the lights go out. A full map won't fit in 80
columns. You'll have to redraw on graph paper for the last
few trades.
