I think there were more reporters and vendors than actual 'stormers'.

There is a list of stupid things to not do. Entering a military installation without authorization is right near the top.

I've been to Area 51. It is just past the Combat Zone, lot's of blue hairs trying to pass as pink.

I was in Rachel, Nevada just a few months after it was "born" in 1977. They had a skid post office, a gas shack and my reason for pulling in there, the only commercial water well in about 75 miles in any direction. I was leading a convoy of water tankers hauling water for drilling fluids back to our project and camp. We were too suspicious of the well to use it for potable water in camp further north to the Grant Range. There was a double wide trailer on the west side that supposedly was the namesake of town, Rachel, herself not a year old. Never saw any UFOs. The CBs at night were full of chatter in Basque and Spanish as the sheep herders razzed each other. During the day it was scrawny jack rabbits and B-52's barely clearing the mesa's an foothills on extreme low level practice runs. The only excitement was the fighters playing grab ass over the endless bare playas and scaring the stuff of out our powder monkeys with the sonic booms.
