Take Me to Your Innkeeper: Adventures on the Extraterrestrial Highway

Welcome to Cosmic Summer, where we'll be exploring strange skies all over the world and the hotels that cater to them. First up is the lonely road that crosses south central Nevada and runs parallel to the secret base the U.S. government swore didn't exist for decades—Area 51. On our way there, we stopped in Tonopah, NV, a former mining town with gorgeous historic hotels and an even more beautiful ghost haunting one of them.Then we drove down the Extraterrestrial Highway and stopped at alien hunter HQ, also known as the Little A'Le'Inn—the closest roadside motel to Area 51 and the UFOs (or UAPs?) in the dark skies above.On our way home we absolutely had to hit a leg of Route 66—this year is its Centennial, after all—and find as much neon signage as possible.Check out our socials for photos and videos of our journey and check back in for more cosmic content.
