Anybody in the area has heard of I-57 if you really live in the area. If you want shelter, be well armed and bring any supplies you can carry. Follow the signs on 57 to a town called Marion. You'll know when you find it because its pretty big and has a baseball stadium where the Miners play. You've heard of it if you live in the area. When you get there head south for about 20 miles. You'll know when you see our shelter. They'll be a burned off area of forest and a huge earthen platform where they have a truck repair place. Its all there already if you don't believe me. All except the burned forest part because I'll do that after it all starts. Its near a small town so we won't have that many zombies running around and plus its about 3 miles out of town. Its a good spot to hold up for awhile. Its not big enough to house that many people but the big platform can have barracks built on it if need be. Will except anyone who can aid the cause.

This is a large semi-rural area in Cook and Will County, IL. it is mostly rural with plenty of long spanning wide open spaces, but it also has plenty of resources such as grain, sporting stores for things such as weapons, equipment. plenty of places for food and most of it's roads aren't dense with traffic so it's easy to escape if you're overrun.
point one(regroup): there is a large grain tower near the center of town which is very tall. has basically one entrance and is close to impossible to scale even for humans. what's great about this place is you can get a view a pretty much anything around for miles which makes it ideal for sniping and can be very effective with a large group of armed survivors you also have a large amount of food that can last you a very long time with the right group of people to maintain the facility. there are no windows on any level of the building except for at the very top. there are electric chain link fences all around the factory and tower which is a great zombie repellent. point two: (evac) there are a large amount of side roads which barely anyone travels down most of them leading directly out of the state. any road leading south or west will suffice for evac. although north and east aren't recommended as they lead to heavily populated areas such as the suburbs or the city of Chicago.

This is an area down south, near the Indiana border. The closest town near it is Westville, which is a decently small, ex-mining town, with a population of about four thousand. Now, there are two main things that make Forest Glen a good RVE point.
Number one is the observation tower, which is located less than a mile in the woods, down a basically straight, gravel path. It is around seventy feet tall, with only one way up, so if the infected are climbing it, then it's easy to stop them. Now this is only for the Rendezvous, and it is in no way intended for permanent living. With proper precautions you could make it to where the infected couldn't even begin to climb it, because it is surrounded by a steel fence that is around nine feet tall/ Just close the gate and attach a car battery to it. That's used for regrouping, and preparing for the evac, which is number two. The Vermillion River is a decently large river, and it just so happens to flow into the Mississippi. So, with a decent boat docked at Forest Glen, alls it would take is a less-than-a-mile hike down a steep, gravel path, and you would be at the bank of the river. Hop in the boat and you're on your way to the gulf of mexico.

Make sure you can get mobile very fast. I know many people think that forting up is the right answer. I think it is as well as long as you have a 100% guaranteed means of escape. The last thing you want is to have yourself alone or with others trapped. Your just delaying the inevitable. A strong 4x4 S.U.V. stocked with food and water rations should always be ready to move just in case. As for myself, yes food and water are always in the house, but my ace in the hole to surviving Z-day will be my AR-15 (fully tricked out), Mossberg 590 special purpose and of course, what i wear to work everyday, my trusty Glock 17-c with the tlr2. I suggest you head over by ChisumTK, thats where im going!

i'd probly stock up on food then head to the Dick's sporting goods store in niles. Its got lots of survival equipment, guns and and big heavy doors. You could make a pretty good stand there until you can get out
