Area 51 is not generally thought of as a typical tourist attraction when going on vacation. Surprisingly, we did see something on our way to the area that we found to be a little out of the ordinary. How do you get to Area 51? Or what do you get to see if you drive to Area 51?
It is around a two hour trip from Las Vegas to the Area 51 Alien Center, which is where we decided to see. We thought that the trip would basically consist of driving through desert for two hours, only to turn around and do it again. Since we were already in the area, it was now or never.
We left Las Vegas and headed into the desert with no destination other than the Area 51 Alien Center. We would then turn right around and head back. Seeing as we had no other plans, we took off to see what the drive would have to offer.
The drive through the old Nevada desert highways was a mountainous adventure. Passing through from town to town until they eventually stop and you are left with nothing but the occasional passing car. As we were coming down the highway to our destination, our trip took an interesting turn. The desert was very windy this day and there was a lot of driving through thick dust.
It was hard to see right in front of your hood, much less what was coming towards you down the road. Although we knew that the area was affiliated with the military, what we saw still somehow seemed unexpected.
