Default My Ride Out To Area 52 (not 51) Today

A little while back Brian (No Brakes) was looking at some satellite photos of where I live and ride and happened upon a strange photo of what looked like a remote military installation way in the desert on a mountain top (about 25 miles from where I live). So my friend Joe and I rode out there today, cool ride (actually a warm ride - almost hit 80ยบ today). The ride took us from 1500 ft. elevation to about 5000 ft. Security seemed pretty lax out at Area 52 today, managed to elude security dogs, ground sensors and those pesky Apache helicopters - here's the photos.

great looking pics. So what exactly is it? Weather station, or is there a seceret missle deep in the mountain.

All I know is there are a lot of strange lights in the sky at night near it!

I was riding out there last year, felt very weird. When I got home I discovered that I had somehow lost two hours of time and my underwear was on backwards! I know, you guys want to see pictures of that!

Dang! Underwear on backwards, I'm riding with a hernia brace right now - that could get exciting!
