Epilogue

The walls of my Area 51 office are now bare. The files have been boxed and packed away. A few souveineers from Rachel still litter my home, and hanging on one wall there is still a picture of me at the Black Mailbox.

The truth is, I actually had to force myself out to Nevada on my last trip. My heart just isn't in it anymore. Area 51 has been a mystery that has occupied my mind far to often within the last 2 years. I never intended to get as deep into it as I did. What started out as a weekend road trip ended up as an obsession that I really could have lived without. I cringe when I think of all the time I have spent looking for evidence of phantom flying saucers in the desert. If ever there was a fool's quest, truely this was it. I have grown bored with Area 51, and if there are alien craft beyond the restricted border, it matters little to me anymore. The magic of Dreamland is gone for me. Area 51 provided me with a puzzle that was fun and intriging for a long time, but the adventure has all but disappeared. It was a good time while it lasted, but sadly, all good things must come to an end.

I may update this site again sometime in the future, but probably not for awhile. I guess I'll keep checking alt.conspiracy.area51 every day or so, as its become a hard habit to break.

Other areas such as the San Luis Valley and Sedona AZ have sparked my interest, but I'm not sure I am ready to start over again. I have grown weary in my pursuit. I think that for the most part I have outgrown Area 51. It's just not the same anymore, at least not for me.

Maybe this is just some sort of temperary burn out, maybe this feeling will go away. I hope so, I really do. I miss the days when it was all so new to me, I wish I could get that enthusiasm back, but at this moment it seems unlikely.

Sadly, I have learned that even roads as wonderous and mysterious as the E.T. Highway have to end somewhere, and when you get there, you usually wish you good go back to the start, and travel it again for the first time. Wishful thinking I guess.
