Cutler Bend

Cutler Bend is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
This boggy mess of rusting boats, tires and other debris forms a makeshift bridge across the Charles River. A group of salvagers, Brenda and Lee, attempted to retrieve the riches locked in the military transport truck buried under the makeshift bridge, but only succeeded in annoying the local mirelurks. They abandoned the location, leaving the mirelurks and stingwings behind, along with the pickings.

Layout
There are several boats forming a bridge across the river. Several mirelurks, feral ghouls and three or four mirelurk kings can be found around the boats. There is a shack on the west side of the river with some minor loot and mines around it. A boat on the north side of the boat-bridge contains a Master locked safe and an industrial trunk.

Some more minor loot can be found inside of the trailer on the east side of the river behind the locked door. There is also a truck underwater that can be unlocked and contains various loot. The water itself contains some radioactive barrels and is heavily irradiated.

There is a small camp and shack complex on the south end of the bend, which has a cooking station. North of the camp are several overturned boats and planks that lead across the river over to a small trailer (Average-locked) that is filled with various supplies. Underneath the bridge is the aforementioned military truck, with an Advanced locked door, +30 levels of radiation and minor ammunition loot.

Notable loot

 * Note - Attached by a combat knife to the doorframe of a cabin west of Cutler Bend. The cabin can be surrounded by mirelurks and mirelurk eggs.
 * One fusion core - Inside the cabin of the capsized boat with the wooden white hull, beside a red toolbox.
 * Vault-Tec lunchbox - Can be found just a short swim northwest, located on the mini island, on the floor of the treehouse. Climb the fallen log to gain access.
