What's there: An immense amount of desert. A beautiful region with amazing scenery. Rachel, NV. Tikaboo Peak, the only place you can still see Area 51 from without getting shot. Also near Rachel, NV.
Why we want to go: How many people do you know can say they've been to Area 51? This will likely be a week long trip, as we will have to hike up Tikaboo Peak beyond where vehicles can go. We're planning on bringing a lot of beer, and camping out for several days on the mountain. Hopefully we'll see some neat stuff take off from the airstrip. If not, worst case scenario is we had a cool camping trip with lots of scenery and some bragging rights
