303
You complete your detour around Sterling city without incident and rejoin Highway 87 a few miles south of the town. The hour you spent driving across the dusty plain has made you very thirsty, and you must now take a Drink or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.
The freeway follows a wide, rock-strewn gully that was once the North Concho River. You are staring at this dead watercourse, trying to imagine what the river must have looked like before ‘The Day’, when a road sign flashes past. You stop the car and turn back to read it. It says:
BROOME—2 MILES
If you possess a CB Radio, turn to 220.
