Alexander, after making several detours leading south due to large pockets of radiation, enough even to boil water, he reached the ocean. He began walking along the extensive beach. Even though it was cold, it was nice. Since the bombs dropped, the water level got a lot lower, and so did the sand. Most of it was cold and dry now, even though it was only the end of summer. Ahead, he saw what looked like a huge black rock. As he got closer and closer, he soon realized that he had somehow gone so far south he was now in Oregon. What he saw was the wreckage of the Peter Iredale, almost all of it was uncovered. It was truly a beautiful sight to behold, as the sun set over the ocean.
