What's Thunderbrd up to anyhow?

It was Area 51 indeed. I was amazed we found it since we had not well researched the inroads from the highway. When we got there, we were indeed being watched by the guards already. There was a white truck situated up on a ridge about 50 yards off the road glaring down at us without their headlights on. I wondered if anyone was in the truck but that curiosity was confirmed when after we left we were 'escorted' down the road by distant headlights behind us until we reached the highway again. It was rather freaky and exciting at the same time - GREAT life experience! lol

What is really amazing, when I think about it... so many people know the place exists and I'm sure it's an intensely curiosity inspiring location for most but of all the billions of people on the planet, we were the only ones that decided to make that our Valentine's Day destination for the evening. That was a long drive in on a long straight dirt road... no other traffic in or out (with the exception of our 'escort' out.)

Maybe next year we'll head out to one of Nevada's haunted ghost towns!

Yeah i watch all kinds of theory stuff on TV, and that truck is always there, and before you even turned onto that road, THEY have radar senor's built into the ground on the sides, its more or less like moment sensors. So they know exactly what is going on waaay before you even got close. Are you'll from Nev?

Yeah, Las Vegas.

I noticed an odd pattern of Joshua trees that are perfectly 'planted' in a line on both sides of the road headed in and figured that's where they would've positioned such motion sensors. It was roughly when we passed those on the way out that the headlights behind us stopped and turned around (though when we reached the highway and stopped there for a long delay to look back they seemed to stop and wait to make sure we left.)

We went first into Rachel to look for that Little A’Le’Inn but we got there so late at night (after midnight) that the whole town had rolled up the streets and sidewalks and put them away for the evening.

That's too bad. I always wanted to go there. Note I have been to Nevada and the other southwest states many times. In fact on one trip I went to Roswell New Mexico to see the infamous UFO museum. However what I remember most about Roswell was their really good Chinese Buffet. Who knew Roswell would have one of the the best Chinese Buffets I have ever had!

Reminds me of that scene in Rocky Horror:
Hydro: Any idea what happened to that alien that came down near here?
Chinese Buffet Proprietor: Ah, that's a rather...tender subject. Another serving anyone?
