Oh! And lets not forget about the ...Flats in Nevada where the abandoned nuclear test site is. They have some lovely fixer-upper bungalows real cheap, quiet neighbors (actually non-existent), and it's not that far from Las Vegas. Ha!! Just kidding about the last one.

We came back with bolt cutters and broke in to find a huge empty underground control center that looked like all the equipment had just been torn out of the walls. We had huge parties down there for several days running - it was great fun until the local authorities caught on. Apparently the U.S. govt still owned it and did not really like it when people trespass in a top-secret federal missile installation.
