best viewing areas at area 51

I think Mercury is a military town I.E only military personnel and their families can go their. Tikaboo peak is a fair option but little know of the mine in the groom lake area which actually affords the best view and from only 8 miles away.

i was doin some browsing around on google earth and i noticed this town "Mercury Nevada" which seems to straddle the border to area 51. To me this appears to be a much closer viewing area than the black mail box. Is this little city even still on the safe side of the border?...it looks like military installions everywhere around it. Where else would be a better viewing area other than the infamous Tipakoo Peak (spelling) and black mail box. From what i see on google eath, there are much better potential locations to view the juicy stuff.

Indian Springs, and Creech Airforce Base also look pretty interesting.

also keep in mind area51 encompasses not only just the airfield, but a much larger area.

I use to work at Creech AFB as a avionics troop.... during the night shifts odd things would happen.
