Location 19: Nellis

Abandon hope all ye who enter here
Unfortunately, this is as close as I could get to Nellis Air Force Base; no prizes for guessing why. (For the same reason, places like the Nevada Test Site don't appear in this blog.) But I think I've got the location right: notice the huts either side of the vehicle entrance, and the low wall in front of the right one?
"Meet new people, understand
them, and drop high-explosive
ordnance on their heads."

Nellis AFB is HUGE, covering thousands of acres of Nevada. In fact, a sizeable percentage of Nevada as a whole is government-owned and much of this is fenced off; you only notice it when you're a long way offroad. But let's face it, you don't want to go sniffing around a nuclear test site anyway, even if half-life's shorter than time since test.

It's time for some R&R at the Gomorrah Casino.

    I'm stationed at Nellis AFB right now. It's not like the game at all. There are a lot of solar panels on another part of the base that isn't connected to the main part of the base.

    You can go to the Nevada test site by taking a tour from the Nevada atomic history museum in Las Vegas. They have one once a month
