Bonnie Springs

Bonnie Springs is a location in the Mojave Wasteland, located almost due north of the Goodsprings Cemetery, northeast of the tribal village, and southeast of Spring Mt. Ranch State Park.

Background
In 2281, this ghost town is crumbling into the dirt, its memory and true history slowly fading. However, it is still used as a landmark for travelers and is occasionally picked over, the latest of whom are a gang of Vipers.

Layout
Bonnie Springs is an abandoned ghost town, with a single main street leading to a boarded-up saloon, flanked by destroyed and otherwise derelict buildings. The town is occupied by well armed Vipers, four regular gangers and two leaders equipped with plasma grenades and a trail carbine respectively. Once killed, the area will be taken over by cazadors on return visits. Wiping out the cazadores can lead to a blind deathclaw spawning here.

Notable loot

 * Love and Hate - Unique spiked knuckles, on one of the Viper leaders.
 * Two Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps - In open crates on the porch of the second building southeast from the campfire, on the southeast side of town.

Appearances
Bonnie Springs appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * Bonnie Springs Ranch is based on the former real world location of Bonnie Springs Ranch near Blue Diamond, Nevada.
 * In January 2019, plans were announced to demolish the ranch and replace it with approximately 20 custom homes and hotel. Bonnie Springs closed on March 17, 2019, despite a petition gaining 74,011 signatures to save the location and significant effort by the non-profit group Save Red Rock.


 * Both the Vipers presence and the subsequent cazador takeover were originally meant to occur at Mountain Shadows campground and with larger numbers of both cazadores and Vipers, but were moved due to console limitations.

Bugs
The corpse of the Viper leader with Love and Hate never disappears.
