Again, great images. I have really been stuck by how many vehicles are in these images. Too me it seems like quite a lot of vehicles! Just last week there were 11 vehicles in the Alamo Annex parking and 6 cars in the parking area near the first ET HWY sign. I spent most of the day between GLR and the Rachel Back Gate. There is not really much traffic from these two areas. Where the heck are all these workers coming from? I would guess the JANET planes and the NTS gate. How many are staying the week and coming home on the weekends. To me the new images show a lot of workers at the base. Without seeing the new images, I would have thought from the looks of GLR and Rachel things are slow, but that does not appear to be the case. Has anybody else been struck by how many vehicles are in the various images? I wonder how many work at Area 51 on a typical day and how that compares to a typical day in the 90's, 80's and 70's.
