If there is one lol i know there are dangers all around. Supposed to go meet Melissa for Oh My Papa. I can wait to get my character level up as i'm only lvl 14 right now. All I have one me is an assault carbine as well. Thinking I should save up some caps and invest in a silenced sniper weapon, to get the sneak critical hits on the deathclaws? might as well wait until I get Better Criticals then.

You don't go through Quarry Junction. Follow the road north out of Goodsprings and on your right near the Makeshift Great Khan Encapment will be a path to it. Just watch out for cazadores.
