Area 51

      One of the last road trips I made in my 07 Shelby , was a visit to Area 51 in south central Nevada. It's an area I have been to a few times over the years, while visiting family in this part of the country.  Now, it's only about a hundred miles west of my current home in southern Utah. I still haven't spotted any UFO's , or any of the things Area 51 is famous for, but I will say, if you stop for any time along the highways in that area, it won't be long before you catch sight of a security vehicle on one of the dirt roads in the distance, moving in your direction. That place is still under high security.

     For me, one of the attractions of making the trip over there in the Shelby was the chance to make a high speed run on one of the vast open stretches of highway in that area. Sure enough, as I topped a hill with about a five mile view of open highway ahead, and a silent radar detector, I let her rip. As I passed 150 MPH, I let off,  you cover a lot of ground in a hurry at those speeds.
