Area 51

Area 51 is a local club that is in Salt Lake City that groups of Fortians had made a trip to a few time this summer. We discovered it by accident while out hitting the town celebrating a birthday for one of the maintance guys. We went there again last night and it was a whole different experience, as it is everytime a group goes. We can all go to any of the local lodges' bars here in Alta and not pay the gas or coverage charge, but no matter how many times we go to those bars, they are pretty much the same. We all sit at a table with our drinks and just talk about work or the Fort life. Nothing to special. However once we go to Area 51, there's a music and a stage made for dancing and cutting loose and not worrying about the trouble and drama going on back in the Fort. Even people who don't normally get along with each other in the Fort are dancing and having fun with each other at Area 51. And when you are one of the only sober ones there, it's even more entertaining because you get to see all the drunks making a fool of themselves. It's a place that none of us would ever go to on our own, but get us together in a group and that is normally on our list of places to go. It's a place I probably would never go to with anyone else but my fellow Fortians. But it's now a place where I have so much fun memories of my new friends here at the Fort and I hope that it's a place where I will be able to continue having more memories made while this season continue to go on.
