Okay, now that you are in the southern edge, NCR or Vault 15. You should be able to glean the general direction of NCR from V15 squatters. Go there.
Rumours about V13's location are aplenty and you prolly can chance to a correct quest. Provided that you have enough stat. Depend on your configuration, Mentats or some chems can help you have enough stats at the special encounter with V13's inhabitants. Maybe.
Once you have the GECK, you can travel back to NCR (which random encounter can still kick your ass even with gears from V13), take a caravan to New Reno, from NR to The Den or Redding, and easy travel from there. DONT travel by foot from NCR back north, because fuckign monster central, man~
