The zombie apocalypse could happen tomorrow.  It could even happen today.  The biggest key to survival is being prepared.  If you don’t know where your safe place is yet then you’re in pretty bad shape. But lucky for you, I have a couple of ideas.  The more of you that survive this thing, the less zombies I’ll have to fight off.

  1. Mystic Seaport - Mystic

  1. Tory’s Cave - New Milford

  1. Naval Submarine Base New London - Groton

  1. Penfield Reef Light House - Fairfeild

Steve913/Wikipedia By now you’ve probably noticed a theme. Water equals safety since zombies can’t swim. Only a few lighthouses left are actually in the middle of water. It’s all the safety of a boat but with all the comforts of a house.

  1. The Quiet Corner

  1. Haystack Mountain - Norfolk

Morrowlong/Wikipedia Uninhabited and hard to access for the undead. The only problem here would be access to food. You’d need some strong team members to go out and bring supplies back up the mountain.

  1. Arrigoni Bridge - Portland

What’s your plan Z? Does it involve one of the places on this list?
