Area 51 expert on social media campaign to 'storm' top-secret site: Military won't let anyone get close
Being a teenager in the Mojave Desert, you get bored after riding the dirt bike all the time so you look for different activities. There are 3 major military bases, 5 if you count Edwards and George AFBs and one NASA installation in close proximity to the house. We get in "The Piglet" '66 VW squareback fenderwells torched out to accommodate 235x70x15 used CHP radials ($2 each) and head for Superior Valley. There is a county park in that part of the desert called Rainbow Basin, colorful geological deposit. We take a road we've never been on before and wind up on this dry lake. Cruising along we come to a massive steel tower similar to a high tension power line tower in the middle of it. Out of nowhere we hear "YOU.. IN THE VOLKSWAGEN.. STOP WHERE YOU ARE"
Where did that come from? We come to a similar tower a few miles down the lake. " YOU HAVE ENTERED CHINA LAKE NAVAL WEAPONS CENTER.. STOP WHERE YOU ARE" booms the mystery voice. "We better stop" 2 minutes later the Shore Patrol arrives. OOPS.
Not a gate, fence, or sign to be seen previous to that. 4 sailors fully armed in an open CJ5 was not what we expected to find that day
