Last year in February we drove from Las Vegas through the mountains to Area 51 (or as close as we could get..) as a part of our honeymoon tour. Before taking off we went to buy a map and ask people how to get there. Everyone was very serious about it and didn't think it was a good idea to go there. They told us there was nothing to see and we couldn't get that far anyway 'cause if we crossed a certain outpost we would get shot on sight...
Going through the mountains we lost signal on our cell-phones and spooked each other talking about horror movies that begins with a young couple driving along an empty road running out of gas...
...and then finally we hit 'The Extraterrestrial Highway'...
..still no signal though...
We stopped in Rachel, Nevada in the middle of nowhere where there is a world famous small diner/bar. It's the most local world famous bar I've ever seen...very local...
The parking lot -basically a dirt lot...
We were soo hungry but after stepping into the diner where a foul smell hit us and the local gang were sitting listening to country music on a small transistor radio not looking very friendly at all we hurried up and bought some expensive alien souviners and decided to go back to where we came from...
On the way home again, still very hungry, we stopped at a gas station making sure not to run out of gas and to buy some semi-food (popcorn and Twizzlers..) We told the people that worked there about our trip and asked if we could have gotten closer to Area 51 and they told us about the dirt road that lead up it and about the shooting (a lot about the shooting..) and everything. There was a strange hostility everywhere we stopped and we were both very glad to get back to civilisation (if you can call Las Vegas that...)We were hoping to see strange objects in the sky but it was the people on the ground that were the strangest of them all...
