Default where does this ground go?

I was under my 98 blazer the other day and i noticed what seemed like a ground wire broken and extremely brittle. its fastened just above the evap canister (drivers side above rear bumper). Id like to replace it, i just dont know where the other end goes...
Cheers

A picture would help, but other than that, is there anything not working? Especially in that area? That would be a good clue!

it is extremely hard to see in that photo, what is the year/make/model?
it could be the ground strap to prevent static when filling up.
