Talk:Rachel, Nevada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] heh

Rick's original text read "UFO hunters visit Rachel to buy supplies before continuing on down the highway to try to catch activities at the top-secret United States Air Force base." I was tempted to follow this, adding "...and then are sure to catch activities Fort Leavenworth Kansas, generally for several decades" but I thought better of it. In practice almost no-one uses Rachel as a staging point on an Area 51 expedition any more (and it's not like all that many people ever did). Since the government acquired all the high lands west of Rachel (between it and Groom) there's really no point, and climbing the mountains to the east requires more effort, and a longer lens, than is worthwhile. -- John Fader (talk | contribs) 02:11, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
