Groom Lake and Area 51

Question

In the next couple of weeks we'll be taking the route from Las Vegas north around the east side of Area 51 military property in Nevada. Then Extraterrestrial HWY to Tonapah and back south to Beatty on the west side of the military area. Hunting UFOs. :) Thinking of one or two nights boon docking along the route with a 30' travel trailer behind 4x4 pickup.

Anybody have any logistical advice for this route? Roadside camping restrictions, road conditions or concerns, etc.

Wide open country with not much to see except Desert, stop and check out the Little-A-le-Inn in Rachel, and the famous Mailbox up the road. Have fun!Bob in Calif.
