Andale

Andale is a town in the southern area of the Capital Wasteland. It is located north-west of the Nuka-Cola Plant, south of Fairfax Ruins and south-east of Fort Independence.

Background
Andale is touted by its residents as "the greatest town in Virginia". However, the town holds a very dark secret. Four families survived the nuclear war and remained in Andale, but eventually took to cannibalism after their food supplies ran out. Since then, the murder and consumption of outsiders, along with inbreeding between the Andale families, have become a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Willy Wilson says that the Home Owners Association does not let random people move into the town.

Layout
Andale is located directly south of the Fairfax ruins and west of the Nuka-Cola plant. The town is comprised of two two-story pre-War houses, one ranch style home, and a shack. They are all located on a street amidst the ruins of other homes, and a Red Rocket gas stop.

Notable loot

 * Grognak the Barbarian - in the Smith basement, lying on the table closest to the door. It may also be on the floor on the south side of this same table.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - in an overturned truck under the highway north of Andale, towards Fairfax Ruins. Also in the truck are some misc drugs and medicine.
 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor - in the Concrete Treehouse down the road out of Andale to the northeast that passes the Red Rocket Gas Station, approximately halfway between Andale and Fairfax Ruins.
 * Dean's Electronics - in the back of a truck down the road (east of Andale) towards the Nuka-Cola plant. Note: There is a chance that this book may not spawn in the truck. (Reported in the Xbox and PC versions)
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes - on a table behind the counter in a raider defended Dot's Diner, located on the outskirts of DC, north of the Nuka-Cola plant on the road leading east out of Andale.
 * Strange meat - 80 total; 10 in each fridge. (Specific fridge locations: 3 in Smith Basement, 3 in the garden shed, 1 in the Smith house kitchen, and 1 in the Wilson house kitchen.) Strange meat can be traded for cave fungus at Little Lamplight in the quest Fungus Deal. This one location holds more of the item than every other static location in the game put together.
