[@Earnest Evans] It's doable, especially with clear most of the southern mid-west of raiders. The brotherhood was up further north. Going through Texas and then up would be a perfectly safe route. Also tornadoes would only be a problem some of the year. If you had a car you make the trip in 3 or four weeks outside tornado season.

You know, that makes sense. I guess if I was a character from the west coast, it'd be one who's friendly with Caesar's Legion (to make it through the Southwest route), or one who made a one-way trip in the "off-season" and only had to contend with gigantic dust devils and raiders.

Alright, thanks for helping clear things up. I'm gonna start working on my CS now.
