Is Area 51 closed ?
No, the base is not closed. A poorly researched article in Popular Mechanics started this rumor in 1997, when their reporter got lost in the desert. The base is well alive, with several Janet flights going in and out daily. Also, the white bus that brings in workers from Alamo and other nearby towns can be seen regularly going in and out on Groom Lake Road. A new runway was added in 1992, and there is plenty of other construction activity going on as well.

In anything actually happening in and around Groom lately that's worth reporting? It's been O/T city lately!

I just got back from a weekend trip to Rachel. There are a few changes around the North Gate, as well as an interesting new repeater that Chuck discovered. Photos coming hopefully within the next week.
Also, I took some photos of Tom's "Hunt for 928" crash site. Coming up soon (no GPS coords., sorry...)
