Morning Glory Cave lies west of the North Fork Bridge and north of Patriarchs' Campground. It was the Survivalist's home for about fifteen years, from 2108 until shortly before his death. His terminal holds the logs for 2108, 2113 and 2123: hunting down a pack of walking corpses, a bitter birthday spent alone, and finally the discovery of 24 children who had come from a place called the School and its feared Principal. Clark chose to watch over them in secret, and those children became the Sorrows, who still remember him as the Father in the Caves.

The main chamber holds three spore plants, bear traps hidden under branches and two rigged shotguns. On top of a rock spire in the center sits a duffle bag with Morning Glory's cache key, along with a crate and an ammunition box. The key opens a locked gate on the wall opposite the entrance, or you can pick it with a Lockpick skill of 50.

Behind the gate is Clark's campsite with his terminal and a bed on a raised platform. One of his six survival caches sits next to the bed, and it holds the Grand Staircase map holotape that Daniel needs in The Grand Staircase, so the Sorrows can find a safe way out of Zion. Waking Cloud can act as your guide into the Father's cave on that quest.

How to get there

Cross the North Fork Bridge heading west and look for the cave mouth in the cliffs north of Patriarchs' Campground.
