Happy Trails Expedition

Happy Trails Expedition is the introduction quest to the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Synopsis
Jed Masterson is heading a caravan into Utah and needs anyone "used to humping it across the wastes straight toward trouble" to join him.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Find Jed Masterson at the northern passage using the Happy Trails Expedition Broadcast.
 * 2) Let Jed Masterson know you are ready to leave once you are traveling alone and carrying ≤75 pounds of gear.
 * 3) The weight limit can be increased to 100 pounds by using the Strong Back or Pack Rat perks, or passing a Survival check of 50 with Masterson.
 * 4) Ricky can be convinced to carry some of the Courier's gear (also raising the limit to 100 pounds) by passing multiple dialogue checks (Survival, Guns, Science and Speech) with him and convincing him to carry some gear instead of exposing Ricky's lies.
