Good question, thanks for posting the link, Bret. Personally I have my doubts about that story, or at least the part where he gets close to Groom. Security is very tight in the ranges, and especially around Groom Lake. The obvious surveillance devices are only the tip of the iceberg.
I have spent a lot of time out there, and I can tell you that you need a lot of water to survive. Shade is very limited. For a 7 day hike he would have to carry at least 30 (!) gallons of water, probably more, to avoid dehydration....
Also, none of the photos in the article show any recognizable geographical features, only details that are hard to prove or disprove without entering the restricted area.
I am curious to see what others think about this story.
