If you had lived through captain trips- would you have went to las vegas or boulder?
EDIT:to clarify, you are alive at the end of the epidemic and are receiving visions from Mother Abigail and Randall Flagg- you dont know las vegas gets nuked at the end of the book;)

Vegas or bust.
neither. i'd probably raid a doctor's office, give myself shots against hep a and c and head to mexico.
but if i have to choose, boulder, they didn't get nuked in the end.
Neither. I will not live in a theocracy; neither good nor evil.

I'll meet you on the Yucatan.

I reckon I'd stick around Atlanta, where I already am. But if my only choices were Boulder or L.V., I'd choose Boulder; L.V. doesn't make it...

Ditto.
I'd definitely be aligned with Boulder, but I'd be more likely to not live in either city.

I'd have gone to Boulder and then wandered off into the woods with Abigail. I also wouldn't have attended any of their stupid meetings. I also would have laughed at Stu when he got back because God nuking Vegas had nothing to do with Stu, Glen, Ralph, and Larry going there.
It had to do with Trashcan Man's desire to repent for his transgression in blowing up the airfield, so he went and got an atom bomb and brought it back to Vegas to give to Randall, giving God the catalyst to send down his "hand".
Glen, Ralph, and Larry didn't do a damn thing but die.
King used an ancient literary device called "Deus ex Machina" and, frankly, it's a pussy way to end a book.

If I survive that, it would be from lack of infection, not presence of immunity. So I wouldn't have dreams that trick me into going to either the frozen wasteland or the soon-to-be-nuked-wasteland. I'll probably end up on the island where Randall is gonna go after the nuke destroys Vegas

I'd have gone to Boulder and hooked up with Molly Ringwald.
