I’ll be stopping for the night in Tonopah, NV next month. I think we’ll be there in time to have a short trail run before dinner. Any suggestions?
Tonopah, NV trails?

There is an area called ‘51’ close by. Ignore the keep out signs, those are for campers

No way I’m going back there. Do you know how hard it was to escape? Much as I’d like to ditch my Jeep and retrieve my NanoQuantumBioDisplacementShip it’s just not worth the risk of being caught and disected again.

Not a lot of "trails" in the area ( I consider a "trail" to be a dedicated 4Lo rock crawling, obstacle tackling, trail where the goal is to survive the trail). There are lot's of dirt roads and mining/ghost towns to explore, the majority will be within a 15-50 mile radius. Some may require 4WD, and all are very remote. Temps in the summer are pretty brutal, I wouldn't recommend heading out alone on unfamiliar roads.
There is plenty to see in/around Tonopah. Mining museum, mine ruins, Clown Motel & Cemetary.. For food, the Brewery is good and El Marques has decent Mexican, and inside the Banc casino there is decent Chinese at Bamboo Chinese Kitchen.

Please understand if he is referring to Area 51, this is a highly Restricted U.S. Air Force Installation. It is vigorously patrolled by highly armed USAF Security Forces and we will confiscate your vehicle. If you carry any firearms you will be treated as a security threat under the military code of criminal justice and Department of Homeland Security.

It is a civilian security company that does the patrolling. Affectionately know by the public as Cammo Dudes.

This is true. However, if they stop you they normally have weapons drawn. They are the first of three perimeters around the base. Breach that and the second two will not be so nice.

Base , area 51 , oh wait that's right the guvment finally admitted it was a base ... and there is nothing questionable going on there whatsoever....... I'm planning on making a stop in that general area on my road trip along with my telescope an camera's so I can get photographs of the aliens spaceships
