Reclining Groves Resort Homes

The  is located north of Germantown Police HQ and west-northwest from the MDPL-13 Power Station in the Capital Wasteland. It is a collection of simple homes now obliterated by the nuclear war.

Layout
In the east, a Scavenger has set up shop in a barn. There you can find a very hard (lockpick 100) footlocker containing a combat shotgun and a Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual - but be careful of the dog. One of the houses in the east also contains a Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor on a shelf.

Across the road to the south is a small hill where a wooden plank door leads to a warren, home to vicious dog inhabitants. At the end are two corpses, one of whom has either a laser pistol or a laser rifle and appropriate ammunition depending on your level. There are also 2 stimpacks by the skeleton on the ground just before you reach the bodies.

Notable Loot

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor on a shelf in the houses to the east. In the first burned out house due west of the scavenger barn, near the mattress and dresser. On top of the shelf.
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes is really hard to find. Stand at the north east corner of the scavenger's barn face the bus with compass set to exact north east. The actual direction is almost two tick marks to the north (it's 3/4 of the way to the second tick on the left of the NE. Face that direction then pull up the world map, zoom in as far as you can. Follow a line in the direction you're facing until you JUST ABOUT cross the next horizontal grid line on the map. You just under half way between the two vertical grid lines, slightly to the west (left) of the center of the horizontal grid line to the north. Put a map marker there, because you can't walk straight to the spot, you have to go north to climb the cliff/hill. When standing on the spot where the book is, the tip of the silo is two ticks south of southwest and a tree is within arms length directly on the southeast compass point. Telling Dogmeat to search for chems can help lead you to the spot; there is some psycho on the ground near it. Note: It is underneath two bodies; A mercenary and a wastelander body.
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes - Head northwest away from the barn up a mountain/hill, once you pass the rocky edge, then head 1.5 notch north of East. Travel for some distance, right as it slopes back down you should see some trees. One of the trees has some tin cans scattered around it as well as some chems and the book. If you hit the rocky ledge you've gone too far. Did not see any bodies on the PC version. The book is a little to the left of the top middle of the map square.
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes - Easier directions: Climb to the upper floor of the Scavenger's barn and standing in front of the chair, face the mountain behind the burned-out bus. Looking just a hair north of northeast on the hill you will see three trees in a line, with a fourth smaller one just to the left. The book is located directly under the last tree in the line. In a more general sense, if you followed this path as the crow flies, you'd run directly into the electrical tower that is north of the Alien Crash Site.
 * Letter from Vault-Tec located in several mailboxes.
 * East of location Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual
 * East of location Located in a locked personal footlocker (Very Hard) in a destroyed barn. The personal footlocker is lying on the floor on the second level of the destroyed barn near a dresser and bed. The personal footlocker happens to be under the ownership of a scavenger that has taken refuge in the destroyed barn, and must be picked for negative Karma. If the scavenger is dead, negative Karma is not granted. There is a key for this footlocker and it is located underneath the bus directly outside of the barn. It will need to be picked up by either dislodging it with a grenade or by no-clipping (tcl) under the bus to acquire the key.
