Grassrivers Swamp Shack

A decrepit shack on stilts at the edge of the Grassrivers swamp.

At the terminus of a dirt road that turns to mud in anything heavier than a drizzle, the Grassrivers Swamp Shack is barely a building — it's a collection of corrugated tin, cypress planks, and hope. Inside, the single room contains a cot, a camp stove, a hand-drawn map of the waterways tacked to the wall, and enough mosquito netting to outfit a MASH unit. A generator behind the shack provides a few hours of electricity a day, long enough to charge radios and run a small fridge. An airboat tie-up off the back platform is the primary way in and out; attempting the road after a storm is a fool's errand. In the crawlspace beneath the shack, a sealed metal box holds whatever weapons and cash you can't risk keeping in town.
