Sci-Fi locales segment of our trip

We have always enjoyed science fiction shows and movies so it was a good opportunity to see and re-visit a few locations right after the Vanishing Point part of our trip last month..We plan to be back in our Mustang next year but this was definitely a Challenger related trip this year.
Each photo has a small description under it. Most of this was in Nevada and NM.


The RV in Paul visited this Chief station/store.

This is the store where they stole the fireworks in Paul.

Entering the E.T. Highway

Little Ale-Inn where Paul was filmed as well as other movies.

Little Ale'Inn in Rachel NV

Rachel NV by Area 51

Inside the Little Ale'Inn

Rachel NV gas stop. They had fake aliens inside the old Plymouth

Gas station store

Lonely E.T. highway. Just stop the car and take a photo.

The famous black mail box was tough to find.

Cool sign

Area 51 research center & gift shop

The E.T Highway entrance not far from Las Vegas

Almost forgot Starman. Meteor Crater outside Winslow, AZ where the finale was filmed. The 2nd photo is the museum area where all the military (and Charles Martin Smith) were watching the activity. The last photo (on our guided tour) shows the area where they climbed down the crater (Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen).


On the way to Meteor Crater.

^^^ I just saw your comment underneath about having too much fun. We certainly do.
If you can't have fun when retired and on vacation, there isn't much point in anything. Thank heavens I'm not at that point in life, as Bill Engvall would say, "Here's Your Sign".

Thanks! Paul is quirky and not for everyone, but the more we watch it, the funnier it becomes. Visiting many of the film sites was a lot of fun.
