285
You leave the highway and drive due east across the dusty plain. In the distance you can see a derelict ranch house and traces of a highway that pass close by. You are about to drive past the ranch when you notice a pick-up truck parked outside an adjoining barn. Judging by the condition of the vehicle’s bodywork it is still serviceable.
If you wish to take a closer look at the pick-up truck, turn to 149.
If you decide to ignore the truck and press on with your detour around Sterling City, turn to 303.
