[Walking Dead] Where would you go?

Rick and the group have a real hard on for staying south of the Mason-Dixon Line, preferably in easily breached holdouts. I'm starting to question their decision making skills... 

So I was thinking, where would I go? It would have to be someplace that's easily fortified, difficult for walkers and bandits to attack... Close to natural resources and towns where there's supplies to loot... 

Or maybe not.. I don't know.

There certainly are places like that. There are a few problems with them though. First, they're probably going to be taken. Logically such a good position will serve the original owners just as good as any group you have. Second, the chance of finding a stronghold that's self sufficient would be even more difficult to find. And finally, these are going to be fairly rare. Think about how many easily defensible locations with easy access to quality scavenging there are in just your area, not many.

But honestly most of the places they decided to bunker down in, save for the farm and campground, were pretty defensible. The prison, was a very big get. Prisons are easily the easiest defended structures you'll find in the US, the problem would be clearing it, but they even managed that. Then the Church might have seemed ill conceived, but churches of that style are actually very fortified with heavy wooden doors and high windows, breaching a church is no easy feat. Then a town surrounded by steel walls? That is probably the best place for a home they have found yet.
