Location 31: Spring Mountain Ranch State Park.Time to walk south to Freeside's North Gate. No Las Vegan I met knew anything about this place - it's about a mile north of Fremont Street in a rough part of town - but the walk up is fascinating it takes you past the Neon Boneyard, a "museum" of retired signs that was probably the inspiration for Michael Angelo's Workshop. The foreshortening of depth and the wider field of vision make taking like-for-like snapshots difficult (at least with a standard camera I don't know anything about fisheye lenses or whatever, or if they'd have made it simpler to capture an authentically gamerish view.) These photographs in particular showcase just how deeply the game's forced perspective affects the user experience. They've nixed the geography a bit to place it inside Freeside's North Gate (the wrong side of the freeway) but it's the right building: the Followers' Old Mormon Fort puts the abandoned encampment back into use as a hospital and community gathering-place.
