I am guessing this is Area 51. Am I correct??

Area 51 signs say no photography of the area and they can use deadly force.

I do not have to worry about that as I will NEVER get out to that area at all in the rest of my life......

An Area 51 story. I drove to Lake Tahoe from Chicago, but there were huge snowstorms in the Eastern Sierras, so I did a 900 extra mile detour south first via Vegas and then back up to Reno. I had to drive that lonely 2-lane highway 95 up and past Area 51 and all those expansive foothills around that desert. There actually were cameras and antennas on every little hill on either side of the road. About half way up, and to the east, I did see several large black unmarked helicopters the size of troop carriers, flying very low in a loose squadron and disappearing behind some hills in the distance. I was watching my mileage when I saw the copters so I could look it up later when I got home. Sure enough, it was very close to where Bob Lazar had pointed out where Area S2 was on a map in some of his old interviews. Never did I get close enough to anything like a gate, but there were a lot of very small dirt roads off of 95 and leading into what looked like nothing. Which is to say it wasn't nothing.

Charles,
This is just your standard sign posted every couple hundred feet or so on the perimeter fencing of EVERY Air Force base (and most other military installations).

Uhh. Maybe it's a Canadian thing and we just aren't familiar with it? But then Archibald would know.

I suppose it reminds drivers to fold back their wing mirrors before cossing a narrow bridge.
