Fav Roadtrip Photo
This is my favorite of the 50,000 miles I've driven this car at the time this was taken. This was out by Tonopah, NV somewhere, on the way to Area 51. Here is a little from my article I wrote on this spot.
It was the nicest gravel road I’ve ever been on. I cruised up the road to the gate at 50mph. I knew it was legal to drive up to the gate but my nerves still skipped. We counted 11 cameras/sensors pointing at us as we pulled up. I snapped a quick photo, and headed back down the long road. It felt immaturely dangerous, like stealing baseball cards from the gas station, or not slowing down for the cop pointed the other way in the median. On our way out, an F18 hornet flew eerily quiet in front of us. All the low-flying aircraft signs we’d seen that had not been realized were vindicated. It scrambled away 100 feet off the ground in a full banked turn, in my mind clearly keeping a red alert federal eye on the imminent threat presented by tired and sweaty Minnesotans in a dirty, non-air conditioned 45-year-old Porsche.
