I agree!  Nothing can beat "in the field" discovery. I was recently
sort of bummed out about the picture I took of the sticker in the back
window of an Area 51 workers government truck.  The post on DLR
created no real discussion.  There have been a few other posts that I
was disappointed with.  That is when I started coming over here to
post, learn, and discuss.  Thanks

DLR is only one avenue toward enlightenment, and a very rigid, limited one at that.  98% of the posters on that forum do nothing in the field.  Their idea of research is to cruise various black project web sites and post rhetorical questions.  And the moderator is apparently a grumpy old man of limited wisdom, worth what the sites owner pays him.  Truly interesting discussion will not take place on that forum, nor is it worthy.  Your sticker discovery was a good one.  You might have wanted to sit on the info for a while, looking for others before they vanished.

Alt.conspiracy.area51 has experienced a rebirth in recent times.  Not too much craziness, and some good posts.  No moderator censoring whatsoever, and it would appear Usenet posts live forever.  Not necesarly DLR content. Excepting what the Internet archive captures, it exists at the whim of one individual.

The last time I passed through Alamo, I made sure to cruse the parking
lot looking for that sticker. Of course, they must have a schmuck
whose job is to read all these forums and as Elvis said, "take care of
business." Driving around the Mojave Spaceport you see the occasional
car with the Calvin and Hobbs style "Calvin pissing on whatever
decal", which in this particular case was Calvin pissing on NASA. I
look for the funny diamond decal there too.

Yeah, you post the good stuff and it tends to disappear.  Choose your postings carefully.

Nobody has ever fully figured out why the dudes have an office in
Alamo. We know they are deputized. I suppose they could attend staff
meetings, the morning briefing,etc. I can just imagine the morning
briefing at the Lincoln County Sheriff Department. "Gentlemen, your
job today is to catch speeders and bother young girls at the Sinclair
gas station. Oh, and harass anyone with an Area 51 front license
plate." I don't know if the workers board the bus at the county
complex. Maybe a dude screens who gets on the bus. The bus must have a
radio in it, I don't recall the Groom trunk system working in Alamo,
so maybe they have a radio to hook up with the LC Sheriff Department.
We know Groom uses a few non-trunked frequencies. From a description
of Steve Medlin's radio, it sounds like a simple non-trunked HT.

Years ago Campbell discovered Lincoln County gets some sort of payment offset from the Feds for services to A51.  But in order for payment to be made, there has to be an agreement in place between the two government entities.  I don't think Campbell ever tracked down such an agreement.  I don't know Nevada public record laws, but I wouldn't be surprised if a jerkwater place like Lincoln County conveniently responded to such requests with a shrug saying they could find any such records.  But there are probably some real documentation gems to be found at the county seat, wherever the hell that is.

There also is likely at least an MOU between the base and Lincoln County's (non) finest in terms of how law enforcement responses are to be handled.  This could include a requirement for the base to maintain an office in Alamo as a place to meet with the Alamo coppers.  It would be much like substations maintained by some police organizations in rural areas that are only periodically manned.  Mainly a place to eat doughnuts.  Prying a copy of any agreement or MOU out of the Lincoln County Sheriff would likely be met with a response that such info doesn't have to be released because it details internal security/operating procedures.  That shit wouldn't fly if it were Clark County.  I speculate the base enjoys their working relationship with Lincoln County precisely because the county is so damn backward and easily led.  Goobers can make excellent partners, once you get used to the mouth breathing..

There is plenty of stuff about the base to discover, but you need to
be in the field. If only we had a resident of Rachel to do
investigations. ;-)

Or more people would turn off their computers, get off their lazy asses and head to the field.

I have contemplated living in Rachel someday, but I just can't.  I
have lived in some small places, but I couldn't handle that town.  I
love stopping in once in a while and maybe camping near, but living
there would be too tough for me.  I takes a special kind of person to
live out there.  I don't think I want to be that kind of a person or
have them that close to me for any length of time!!!!

If you have a double digit IQ or a drug or alcohol  problem it would be a great place.  I expect to eventually see it in a Stephen King book.  Now that there's no gas, it's a nice place to pass through at high speed.
