Area 51 is an ever-popular topic
Cars and Area 51 aren’t often mentioned in the same sentence. Where this military base is concerned, you’re more likely to hear incredible conspiracy theories involving shady government types.
For instance, one man claims to have found evidence of a ‘nuke town’ near Area 51 on Google Earth.
Or there’s this expert who says the base is used for secret aircraft testing. And that’s before we get to the alleged presence of aliens…
But have you heard about the guy who converted a jeep to make the journey from Utah to Area 51?
Where is Area 51?
The base known as Area 51 is located at Groom Lake in the desert of Nevada and is, officially, a ‘US Air Force installation‘.
Partly because of weirdly vague descriptions like that, it’s ultimately a breeding ground for conspiracy theories about UFOs.
And, thanks to the rise of interest on social media sites including TikTok and Instagram, it’s become even more popular. Which the military just loves.
So this guy – known as c90adventures – was determined to get there.
This isn’t the first time that we’ve visited this creator’s journey
In fact, we previously checked in on what quickly became a survival mission after he cleverly converted his mini jeep into a tank-style vehicle.
But what happened next? Well, after spending a few days alone in deep snow at 10,000 feet he eventually found a cabin to lay his head.
Yep, we can hear your sighs of relief.
The cab even had firewood – and let’s just say he was clearly pleased with his discovery. After sleeping, warming his bones, and gassing up his mini Jeep, he was back to his journey.
However, disaster was about to strike again, as 19 gallons of fuel went in just 14 and a half miles, which isn’t ideal really, is it?
So he had to stop in the middle of nowhere. But it got worse, with even more problems about to come his way, including copious amounts of snow.

And although he was totally alone, he labeled the experience as a ‘pretty awesome thing to be doing.’ He then set up camp for night, not knowing that his trip was about to take a positive and warm turn.
After being alone for five days, the YouTuber saw his first human

And that human offered help, which was music to our lone hero’s ears.
This encounter meant he could fix up the vehicle and finish his Area 51 adventure – which just proves that the kindness of strangers still appears every now and then.
And, after fixing up a few bits and popping into the local town, it was time to continue the journey. But not before the stranger offered the creator a bed if he ever found himself passing through again.
What a wholesome trip, right?
We’re gripped and ready for the next part of the adventure and we’re sure you are too.
For now though, catch the third episode down below – it sure was an eventful watch.
