No need to catch a spaceship – just head for Area 51 some 2 hours out of Las Vegas.

The road to the gate of Area 51 is long and straight and seemingly deserted.  But don’t think you are alone!  The camos are watching. Mind the rules, or else…..

Below is the black mailbox which is white.  This is where things seem to happen. 

Next a stop at the research station.  Rumor is there are some alien autopsies being performed in the back room.  We settled for a bottle of alien tequila and some postcards.

Lunch time, so on to the Little Al’e’Inn.  The only aliens we meet are from Germany.

All is friendly inside the famed Little A’le’Inn and there are stories to tell!

Leaving Rachel Nevada we head for Hawthorne and Walker Lake, then on to Mono Lake, lunch at the Mobil Station, then a few days of fishing at Silverlake on the June Lake Loop and a one-night stop in Lone Pine. A nice week’s trip.
