August 27 I made it to Nevada and headed to Extraterrestrial Highway in the middle of nowhere. When the sign said No gas for 160 miles, they weren't kidding.

| The best sign so far |
I thought it would be cool if a UFO would land somewhere in the area, but it didn't. The highway starts in a place called Rachel, NV which if I had to guess has a population of about 18 and everyone was at Little Aleinn the only restaurant in the area, some old guy was playing a guitar, which is usually not weird, but it was 8:30 in the morning.

| The area is about 30 miles |

| Area 51 town |
I took some photos at the restaurant and headed out, but realized that that was probably Area 51, and I wanted a picture of the sign, so I turned around only about 20 miles this time and the locals told me it was a mile up, and then ten more miles I think east??? It took about 20 minutes to go ten miles since it was a dirt road and could only go 20 miles an hour. I got up to the base and the only signs were "Restricted area," "No trespassing," and "No photography." I found out that that's the sign everyone takes a picture of, but I didn't because I didn't want to be shot.
