Abandoned Car Fort

The Abandoned Car Fort is located immediately North-East of Shalebridge, North-West of the Five Axles Rest Stop and South-East of SatCom Array NW-07c in the Capital Wasteland. It can be accessed by walking along the highway until you reach it, or you could head towards it from the nearby SatCom array. Once you reach the place, you'll find a fair number of ammo boxes and a cot, and as the fort is a fair distance away from anything else on the map, its a good place to rest and recover, or just wait out the night.

There are Mirelurks and a Mirelurk King about so watch out. You can see them on the ground near the lake, and you can take shots at them through holes. A copy of Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor is to be found to the left of the ammo boxes.

Notable loot

 * To South of Abandoned Car fort, on the rim of an irradiated grassy knoll, there is an ant clutch with the corpse of a raider on top. Next to the Raider is a copy of D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine.
 * Move the Raider's body and a Stealth Boy is underneath.
 * Raider may not be there, in which case the book will be leaning on the egg clutch and the Stealth Boy nearby.
 * There is an Enclave checkpoint just up the highway, to the north-west. An Enclave Hellfire Trooper will usually be among their numbers.
 * Near the western cot is a Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor.

Bugs

 * Sometimes in crossing the bridge, there is a risk that the player might fall through as if the bridge wasn't there. (confirmed Xbox 360 and PS3)
 * On the 360, the Mirelurks below the fort may sometimes fly up to the fort's level, allowing them to attack you (confirmed on PS3)
