    Area 51

    Quite the climatic and geographic contrast to the real area 51, and with no U.F.O. or Elvis sightings, the only airborne sightings here would be dozens of Bald Eagles in the winter months. In this view the PGSQ is approaching mile 51 at the south end of the Cheakamus Canyon. The majority of...
