Northwestern University - Evanston, Illinois - Noon
Charlie stood on top of the Dearborn Observatory in the Northwestern University observing the area and trying to recognize the buildings that were on the university map she had found. She needed supplies and materials and the university was a good place to scavenge, given she was careful and silent as a lot of students were still present, albeit in a somewhat deader form.
She looked with her binoculars at the buildings that had peaked her interest. The Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and the Norris Aquatics Center. In the first she'd be able to find materials she needed and in the second there was bound to still be water, if it wasn't contaminated. It was a risk she had to take though; her utility ATV needed maintenance and she was getting low on water.
The engineering school was closest to the observatory so that's where she'd head first. Charlie knew she had to make sure she'd at least hit one building before nightfall, feeling that scavenging at night in a large building was just asking to get killed. She could always find a place to spend the night on top of one of the many buildings on the campus. Her ATV was stashed and hidden properly so she wouldn't have to worry about that.
Charlie took a deep sigh and looked down. There were plenty of walkers in between her and the engineering building, but not as much that she couldn't get through though if she moved quickly. Still, it kind of felt peaceful up on the observatory and spending another minute up there surely couldn't hurt.
