RE: That Time I Dragged The Wife to Area 51
Did the same thing when I lived in Vegas. I drove up the rode though all the way to the "Do not cross this line" sign. Where they threaten you with imprisonment or being shot for crossing the line. Parked the car there for a little bit, directly in front of the line till a blacked out 4x4 showed up from the other side of the line and just parked there watching us. Left shortly after that and was escorted by a helicopter. They redefine the term "Line in the sand" My wife and I were more than a little freaked out by the incident.
Good times, I really miss Nevada. Loved hiking around Red Rock Canyon! God I miss the dessert. I'm thinking about taking a trip out there soon.
Awesome. We weren't as fortunate as you to escorted, but it was fun none the less. If you live in the SW US it's almost a right of passage to take trip out there just to see for yourself.
There really is something about the desert right? Same kinda feeling I get in an alpine forest. Back to our roots maybe?
I don't know what it is about the dessert, but yeah, I hear ya. I remember my first time hiking in Red Rock and was just blown away by the beauty. We went in spring with all the flowers and the moderate temperature. It was pretty wild, wasn't expecting that reaction at all.
