Supercommunity Scouting

Supercommunity Scouting: Part One
Reggie Goodleaf is leading the charge to scout out locations for a supercommunity. Those with knowledge of construction, infrastructure, or just remember what it was like to build up their initial communities are encouraged to join, but anyone and everyone with an opinion is welcome! Don't hold back — you might wind up living here.

They spend most of today around the Providence Ridge area, checking out the towns, farms, Camp Winchester, and anywhere else that seems like it could protect and support a community of people. They'll be heading to other parts of the area over the next couple weeks, and Reggie will present their findings and recommendations at the next Summit meeting.
Hobson Falls &
South Hobson
A small farming community, there aren't a lot of defenses to boast of in Hobson Falls and South Hobson. What they do have is a half-finished subdivision adjacent to Westen Building Supply, and a lot of bikers at Rosie's Roadhouse nearby.
Camp Winchester
Located in the hilly terrain between Trumbull and Providence Ridge, this former scout camp has a good mix of existing buildings and room to build new structures. Additionally, its high elevation provides some protection against zombies, who generally prefer to travel downhill instead of uphill.
Prescott
There is, obviously, already a community in Prescott, but the town proper once held a lot more people, and with some work the Station's defenses could be expanded to include the outlet mall, the high school, and a number of houses.
Upton Gorge
Reggie describes this town as "a place even meth forgot about" and notes that the nearest bridges across the river flood too much to make them very reliable in the longterm. They might, however, be close enough to the wind farm to benefit from it.

At the suggestion of Cal & Nat, the Fairfield group has relocated to a large, plain-looking family home in South Hobson. When Reggie and her crew come around to scout the area, Dominick Card is out in the front yard digging holes for posts for a new, more fortified fence.

"There a problem, officer?" he calls out to Reggie when they pass by. (He is, for whatever it's worth, probably joking.)

"It's not the Ritz," Card says, leaning on his shovel. "But we're doing okay. Could really use a generator, if you have one to spare."

"Did anyone else do science summer camp here when they were kids?" Roswell asks of the group as they poke around the campground's amphitheater. He's been trying to strike up casual conversations like this all day.
