Putting the wreck out of your mind, you continue your journey.
You drive for several days, stopping to rest in your vehicle. The journey north takes some time, but without any traffic it's rather peaceful.
You have no real destination in mind, but there are a lot of large cities on the east coast. There are bound to be people in some of them. You decide to stop in Philadelphia first. It's a large city, and there are bound to be people around.
