Just wondering if anyone has made a jaunt to this peak NE of Groom. 37°29'19.18"N 115°45'14.62"W According to my calculations it's outside the restricted flight area. There seems to be a dirt road leading to within a mile of the peak. Looks like it would be quite a hike, but it's about 8 miles closer than Tikaboo. I'm not familiar with all the ground borders and whether they correspond directly with R-4808N or not. It appears the signs on the Groom Lake Road are actually a bit inside the restricted area, so if you reach the signs, you are actually already inside the area.
