Hamilton's Hideaway

 is a small cave in the side of a cliff face in the Capital Wasteland.

This underground complex appears to be an abandoned military or medical research facility. It is mentioned by Sheriff Evan King in Arefu as a possible location of The Family as part of the Blood Ties quest.

Unmarked quest: Caching in with Three Dog
This is the area associated with the quest Caching in with Three Dog.

The cache is behind a locked cell door in the northwestern-most area, behind some rubble. It can only be opened by the key that is given to you by Three Dog.

Location

 * Hamilton's Hideaway can easily be found by traveling about a mile NE of Arefu into the river bed and following the cliff's rock until you find the entrance.
 * It's just north of Moonbeam Outdoor Cinema and just southeast of Northwest Seneca Station.

Enemies
The cave itself is populated with variants of Radscorpions, Radroaches, and two, sometimes three Raiders.


 * Some of these enemies will be dead when you find them, because Radscorpions and Raiders will fight each other. Also, because the cave is quite dark in most places, even a character with very low sneak skill can easily pick off enemies from afar with Sneak-Attack Critical Hits.
 * Be careful when exiting this cave if you did not fast-travel to this location. There might be a large group of enemies waiting for you outside.
 * Sometimes 3 dead wastelander bodies that may have spawned alive will appear.

Scavenger
Just west of Hamilton's Hideaway, in line towards Arefu map marker, is a small metal shack with a Scavenger.

Notable Loot

 * Duck and Cover! - on the counter in the room with the Raiders along with Cherry Bombs.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - in the same room as above.
 * Bottlecap Mine - in the same room as the Workbench.
 * this place has a large amount of items used in schematics, most notable is that this place has all the items for a nuka grenade

In the weapons cache
You'll need a key to get in. See note about Three Dog above.
 * Guns and Bullets - on a footlocker
 * Mini Nuke - on a shelf
 * Stealth Boy - on a shelf
 * notable amounts of common weapons, ammo and grenades

And maybe (apparently random)
 * Power Armor - in a locker
 * Power Armor Helmet - in a locker
 * Power Fist - in a foot locker

Nearby
Due east by the river (you'll have to go around the rocks though, but it's pretty close and straight East) is a boat with some crates, a safe, and two ammo boxes. (Large brown boat in the background of the picture at top of page.)

Appearances
appears only in Fallout 3.
