Shelter (Fallout 3)

Location
The Shelter is a small area unmarked on the Pip-Boy world map. It is located South of the Chryslus Building, and East of Farragut West Metro Station. The entrance is a door underneath an intact bridge. If you start at the entrance to the Chryslus Building, head South to the second semi-intact road (it should have concrete dividers in the middle). Coming from Farragut, head around NNW up the slope to the first road (there is probably a group of three Raiders just to the West that you may have to deal with. Follow that road East (if you wind up seeing an intact bridge with two statues of three Valkyrie / winged-women, you're on the road to the North and it's safest with folowers to backtrack West to get to the next road to the South).  There's a blue and yellow truck in the East bound lanes with 3 Ammunition Boxes.  In my visit at level 20 this was guarded by a single Talon Company Merc with a Talon Company Sentry Bot.  The door to the Shelter is under the North side of the bridge just past the truck.  You may see a fire ahead on the road, this is a burning pile of tires at a small fortified Super Mutant camp (in my case populated by a Super Mutant Master with a Minigun, a Super Mutant Brute, and a Centaur).

Interior
Inside the shelter is a Feral Ghoul and what appears to be the remains of a Jet-making lab. Medical supplies are stuck into the face of a Damaged Garden Gnome, and just inside the door is a tower with a book supported by pencils with a Coffee Mug, Nuka-Cola and a Tin Can balanced above it, touching it topples it. A trail of plungers go from the floor, up the wall, and onto part of the ceiling, accompanied by bloody hand prints. The skeleton of the would-be wall-crawler lies on the floor under the last plunger on the ceiling. A nearby mannequin brandishes more plungers and even wears one as a hat. There are about 48 plungers in the room, including one on the ceiling, which when shot oddly falls over upwards onto the ceiling. There is a man of plungers on the gurney with a Metal Helmet for a head and a knife in his crotch. The real mystery, however, is how even a Jet-fueled madman could get such a large stone bust into the entry hallway.

This room is obviously a fun Easter Egg like Gold Ribbon Grocers or the Shrine to Abraham Lincoln in the basement of Arlington House.
