About This Item

Area 51 border

This bug will be released in or around Las Vegas, Nevada, which is basically a bit south of Area 51. I was last in Las Vegas in 1996, when my wife and I took our first vacation together. Other couples take cruises or lay on the beach in Florida or whatever, but no, we instead decided to go on an adventure to check out Area 51.

The funny thing I found out was that when I told people about our trip, they invariably assumed I was interested in UFOs, which isn't the case. Instead, I've always been fascinated by secret bases, hidden bunkers, underground facilities and so on. Maybe it started with pictures of Cheyenne Mountain when I was a kid, or the multi-level base under the "agricultural research facility" in The Andomeda Strain, I don't know.

Please, no "Discovered it" logs on this TB! If you'd like to log it, please move it along.

Thanks to Biloxi Plainsman for moving it along so nicely! Guam would be awesome because my wife was born on the Navy base there. 🙂

As a military traveler, I will be in Guam and Hawaii both by early Sept, my plan is to take it to both to log the miles and then bring it back to the mainland unless I find a really cool "Secret' place to drop it. I worked on the Nellis Range Complex during the late '70s and got into 51 once, so I could not resist picking this one up.

Grabbed this one from the Grand Canyon Bug Cacher. Had trouble logging it once as I got a "not a valid #" returned to me. Hopefully this one will fly!
On our way home to Houston where we have lots of secret spots.
