Girdershade

Located in the southwest corner of the wastes, west of Jacko's Pop & Gas Stop and South-West of Smith Casey's Garage, Girdershade is a small settlement under a broken highway.

It houses Nuka-Cola addict Sierra Petrovita and Ronald Laren, who wants to "plow her bean field" to use his clever euphemism. This is where you will begin The Nuka-Cola Challenge.

A sub-plot to the Nuka-Cola Challenge is the trial of Grady who had a deal with Ronald for a package (Naughty Nightwear). Grady, whose brains you found splattered on a wall in the Marigold Metro Station, asks you via "Grady's Last Recording" to deliver said "package" to Ronald. Ronald is gruff, but pays you for your trouble, if persuaded with a high enough speech skill can pay up to 500 caps for the package.

Sierra mentions a gang that wanted "to steal her stuff," led by "Lug-Nut or something." Lug-Nut is the name of the Raider who appeared shortly after you acquired the package.

With only two shacks and two inhabitants, Girdershade is one of the least-populous "towns" in Fallout 3, short of completely deserted areas.
