The bootlegger's shack is a location in the Cranberry Bog region of Appalachia in 2102.
Background
The name belies a rather extensive facility in the southern Cranberry Bog, complete with a wind-powered pump and numerous crafting stations. The owner appears to have been supplying Watogan juveniles with moonshine. of his own making.[1]
Layout
This two-story wooden shack sits out in the open, with some makeshift walls along its perimeter. A couple of radioactive barrels sit outside. There are multiple entrances to the first floor of the shack, which has numerous shelves filled with junk items, as well as an armor workbench, a cooking station and a weapons workbench. Heading upstairs, one can access a balcony where there is a locked refrigerator with a possible vial of Daddy-O inside.
Going back down, there is a dip in the ground that leads to a basement room with concrete walls and a secure, Picklock level 3 door. Unlocking it reveals a lower area where the actual bootlegging took place, with a chemistry station, a brewing station along with various equipment to make moonshine, and a safe in the bathroom.
