+Filby Dude Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Well, if you were facing NE, then you were looking in the direction of Groom Lake (Area 51, Dreamland etc), but it is over 50 air miles from your location. The road you are looking at ends in those mountains ahead. If you were looking to the SW, then no, Area 51 would be behind you. Cache On Filby Dude Quote Link to comment

Looking at a map it appears the boundary line for Nellis is alot closer than 50 miles off the highway, but I could be wrong. And why the guard shack? Hmmmmm..... Well, if nothing else, it's a cool pic of the mountains.... Quote Link to comment
+Filby Dude Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Sorry, didnt make myself clear, you are about 58 air miles from Groom Lake. Only about 10 miles from the border of Nellis. I think someone should place a cache right on the border somewhere, see if the camo dudes get nervous!! Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! The joke is on YOU 360! That is NOT the entrance to Area 51. It is a pretty cool cache location. There is another cache less than 200 yards from where you took that pic too. I was there not too long ago. That's not a guard house. I wish I knew what it used to be. Verrrry interesting spot. I flipped when I noticed a cache had been placed there. Sngans Sacred cows make the best hamburger....Mark Twain. Quote Link to comment

BTW- I saw THE Cooooolest mock dogfight between F14's and F18's two years ago. I was not more than 1/4 of a mile from where that picture was taken. I've seen other manuvers in that area, but that dogfight was epic in proportion. No less than a dozen planes! Contrails everywhere!

TimasaurusRex Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I lived in Lincoln County, Nevada for several years and I've been up to the hills outside of Area 51, before it was annexed by the government a few years back to keep people from looking in on Groom Lake. A local expert on Area 51 (he really is an expert on it, took me a buddy and severl Lincoln county Commissioners and a state senator up there on a tour. One of the guys I was with had a radio tracker and "found" two metal detector units next to the road as we drove in to look down on the site. Within 5 minutes of him disabling the first of the two devices (they were left out on public property), we had two Wackenhut security vehicles following us. Fun stuff. As we sat and looked down on Groom Lake, they sat on a hill near us with the biggest frickin pair of mounted binoculars I have ever seen and sat and watched us the whole time, and they were all carrying pistols and it looked like sniper rifles (they watched us through their scopes too!). I was warned several times by the guy giving the "tour" not to point anything resembling a camera towards Area 51 while I was there or possibly be shot at. That's the only place I have ever been where the security guys actually looked more prepared to shoot someone then the military, and I was in the Army! Now the nearest peak you can see into Groom Lake is about 10 miles away and you really can't see anything. Good luck sneaking in too - the Lincoln County Sheriff's office gets about five prisoners delivered to them a year by Wackenhut - supposedly no one - not even a geocacher, has ever made it in and back out, without being caught. Did I mention the camera fence with the Infrared/motion sensors? Yeah, I'm not kidding. If you can't find it, you ain't looking hard enough! Quote Link to comment
