The City of Lights is a place you do not want to go!

Anyone notice that the minefield warning was at the end of the minefield - nearest to the City of Lights - i.e. in the direction AWAY from the City of Lights? The minefield, the drone arent there to prevent access, they are there to stop people leaving. This might explain the presence of the boat - someone recently attempted (and might have been successful) at leaving.

As for location: they went due north I believe after wondering around for a bit then reached a major body of water - Lake Ontario? Erie? Sure, that is quite a trek, but travel distances/timings havent been totally accurate in this show!! A place you wouldn't want to go? Hmm..

I don't think the mines have anything to so with the "city's" protection though... But it does leave me wondering. Why would there be a minefield between a field of sunlight collectors and water? Was it put there recently or was it a leftover from a war on the continental east coast? (There is a sign saying minefield) So I thinking old military base. Are there any military bases in that area? An airforce base perhaps? Also with regards to the boat. Is it an island then? Sort of like the military oil rig base from Fallout, or maybe something more down to earth like the island base from the Book of Eli? I have a feeling that water isn't very large. The Great Lakes are massive bodies of water themselves, they might as well be oceans with a small boat like that. I'm thinking its just a river.
