Area 51 Gov't Description

Enjoy the vast landscape, the sunshine, the hundreds of miles of roads, all within the doorstep to America's "Entertainment Capital of the World...."

A unique national resource, the Nevada Test Site is a massive outdoor laboratory and national experimental center that cannot be duplicated. Larger than the state of Rhode Island, approximately 1,375 square miles, the Nevada Test Site is one of the largest restricted access areas in the United States. The remote site is surrounded by thousands of additional acres of land withdrawn from the public domain for use as a protected wildlife range and for a military gunnery range, creating an unpopulated land area comprising some 5,470 square miles.

Idyllic isnt it?

Enjoy your stay but dont forget about those nuke tests though

The sign at the entrance to the Nevada Test Site now describes it as as "Environmental Research Park."

I dont think the words "protected wildlife range" and "military gunnery range" mixed... Until now.. Way to US Government.. Sounds like the perfect place for a honeymoon.

You can also visit the lush open air markets of Beirut and it's beautiful sandy.... .... dunes...
