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. Museum area Meteor Crater Guided tour. This is the spot near the Starman filming.

^^^ 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".

VERY COOL! I remember Starman Jeff Bridges was awesome!
