It's
the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the tryptophan has finally wore off,
so my brother and I decided to take a trip out to the infamous Area
51....
After driving for friggin' ever, (two and a half hours from
Vegas), we made it to the "Little A'le'inn", which is just about all
that's out there anymore. You can't go to the "Freedom Ridge" viewpoint
of Area 51, so there's not much left to see. We got lost on the
way, so I stopped and asked directions to Area 51 at a gas station, and
the cashier leaned in, looked me right in the eye and said, in a
totally serious, almost whispered voice, "you can't go there....", like
we were in some horror movie, and the place was haunted or something. I
felt like she was warning me that if we went up there, we wouldn't be
coming back. I swear, you can't make that stuff up. It was totally
hilarious!
Anyway, while we were driving around lost, I noticed that
the "Alien jerky stand" was also closed and deserted. I can only assume
it's because all the workers were abducted, or maybe died from eating
the jerky, who knows?! Maybe green jerky isn't really the best business
plan... Maybe that's what drove them outta business?! There was fresh
"brown" jerky at the gas station, and they're still in business. Hmmmm,
I wonder....
There were plenty of cows open range grazing all over
the desert, so if some alien wanted to use them for making jerky, or
abduct them, maybe do some milking experiments, or whatever, they were
VERY available. For the most part they're just roaming around eatin' and shittin' everywhere, (in the middle of the road even).
So
while I was out there in the middle of the "extraterrestrial highway",
I thought I'd leave a little something for our fly-by green tinted
spielbergian friends. Here's a shot of the sign in all it's dust
covered desolate drive-by glory...
Yes folks, it's the Extraterrestrial highway sign tagged for the viewing pleasure of all interstellar travelers. Hell,
it may as well be in outer space, it's in the middle of friggin'
NOWHERE! I know it's buried with a bunch of other suck-ass stickers, but Damn it! it's there! Here's a closer look.....
Notice that the state of Nevada actually paid for this sign!
Well, at least I can say I was in the middle of nowhere....
I think the brown jerky saved my life.
Sorry ET, "Vegas Made Me Do It"!
