Exits, as they are called by those who know of the Wash, are the only way to cross through the barrier that separates the Wash from Earth Air. They are called exits no matter which way a person is going, in or out, rather than using the more common exit for one way and entrance for the other, because no one could settle on which way a person was exiting. To enter Earth Air, one must exit the Wash. To enter the Wash, one must exit Earth Air. Therefore, they are called exits from both inside and outside of the Wash.

Exits are very difficult to detect. They appear as a heat shimmer might, but are usually tall and very narrow. They are very constant, rarely ever changing place, and they exist anywhere that the Wash transits--in deep woods, in alleyways, in the sides of mountains, etc. In order to transit an exit, one must enter at the proper angle, usually sideways, otherwise they will pass right through the exit with no indication or sensation to tell them it was there. Thus, it is very difficult to discover the Wash by chance. It is very possible, but difficult.
