My Travois is GONE!!!!
I traveled from Wolf Mountain to Pleasant Valley, lowered all the loot down the rope. I put the all loot in the travois and went into the bunker. After leaving the bunker, the location rebooted, the drags disappeared and new loot appeared in the house that I had already looted.
Is there any way to restore the save?

Probably too late but if this had just happened then suggest try quit and reload. The bunker you referred to I presume was the abandoned prepper cache (aka now as Joplin's cache per the Trader's quest). According to your post, you exited the cache to find that the outside was different than when you entered it i.e. no more travois and no drag marks.

If you were to just quit and reload that would have put you at the foot of the cache hatch ladder having just entered. You could then exit the cache and give the game a chance to restore the outside as you had left it instead of having some glitch and then creating the outside area anew. For now avoid forcing a save.

Don't know what glitched the game restoring the area outside the cache but if you were to cause a save at this point then you would have cemented that outside in the "latest" version of the save game.

Of course, I may be thinking of a situation and location quite different from where you actually were but this would be the best I can think of.

Good luck.

nope, saves get overridden each time it saves, so unless you copy&paste the file elsewhere, there is no going back afaik
It's sad that the game works like this

You described everything correctly, I tried to re-enter the game several times but without profit. After leaving the bunker, the same resources always spawn in the destroyed house, the house that I already looted:((((

Some time back I had a glitch while at Blackrock Prison garage. I had just slept (I typically do it in two stages) and got an error message about restoring the outside. I didn't see anything wrong with me so I slept again until morning. Then I discovered that that glove compartment of the truck no longer had my bedroll.

Apparently the failure put me into the last previous version/state of the area before I had entered the truck and put my bedroll into the glove compartment (I do this to save wear and tear on it since I am in Pilgrim). As a result, my bedroll was gone.

I had a backup from a few days before and decided that I wasn't going to lose the bedroll so I went to the backup and lost several game-days of progress but had my bedroll again.

I am now rather wary about any time the game tells me that something went wrong when it comes to saves and especially when I have key pieces of gear that I have put down or away.

I lost all the gear and materials I had stored in the abandoned prepper cache at the time of the great prepper cache re-introduction because Lost and Found apparently failed that time. I can feel for your loss.

Good luck.

I've never made backups before, but I will now. Especially before entering the bunker.=)
I've never caught bugs like this before, even though I store more food outside the home.
