yup thats it


if you zoom the slider to about 1/2 way down, the white blob in the middle is groom lake, and in the bottom right you can see las vegas.

it's only like 90 miles away


again... neato if you zoom enough on "map" not sattelite, you can trace the roads into area 51

Thats me....that big area to the north is Traders Village in Houston.  Its a giant flea market type place that is open every weekend.  You can find some good stuff in there from time to time.
