Personal Narrative: The Peterson Air Base

Today, I finally reached 24204-24358 County Road 54, Greeley, CO 80631. I walked the remaining 5.37 miles there, taking 5 hours 58 min at .9 mph, and was finally safe from radiation.

This was a sustainable plan that would not allow me to depend on stores that would eventually run out of food after a certain amount of days. With the weaponry, I could get more food from a renewable resource in Hunting Areas and not rely on a finite resource from the Stores.

Out of panic, I ran into the nearest open building, and it just happened to be a grocery store. This building was great news, allowing me to fill up on food resources (weight permitting), and rest for a day while the zombies passed. The store provided me with a sturdy shelter that protected me from weather and zombies alike for an entire day while also supplying me with food. Others could think of this grocery store as a prison for a day surrounded by seven zombies, but I chose to see the shelter and protection it
