Well, to start out, the economies of the US and China are so intertwined that if the US economy failed, China's would as well, and they'd be too busy dealing with their own populace to want to nuke us, let alone invade.
But I'll bite anyhow...Being in the People's Republic of Portland, I would hop on my bike and head to the Columbia. From there, about a 20 minute ride, I can grab a sailboat and head straight to the coast. The bike is a dual fixed cross bike, ideal for off-roading and easy maintenance with no derailleurs. A full touring set up will carry all necessary gear on the bike without wearing me out. You can go off road, even if it means pushing the bike a bit, and avoid any ruined roads, bridges.
Heading west automatically will help get me away from any major city, and I don't have to worry about bridges, since I'm on the river. From there, I figure I can head south along the coast, till I find a suitable place to settle down.
Being alone and single, I'm not as much of a threat to locals and the fact that I'm an EMT will provide me with a valuable skill set that will likely make me more accepted. Granted, I may get run out of town, but is seems the better choice, as staying in Portland will make me radioactive toast.
