STEALTH SEARCH FOR HISTORY
Archaeologist braves barren desert, government security to find lost
site
By Ken McCall
LAS VEGAS SUN
As the full moon rose on an April night, Jerry Freeman picked up his
backpack and headed into a desolate and forbidding landscape.
Driven by an obsession about an episode in American pioneer history --
and the stubbornness of the Air Force -- the 55-year-old archaeologist
and adventurer began an unauthorized seven-day, hundred-mile trek
through the Nevada Test Site, into highly restricted Air Force
property, and near, if not in, the top-secret Area 51.
His objective: To find an inscription made in 1849 by a member of a
lost and desperate wagon train that eventually gave Death Valley its
name. Also, Freeman wanted to see Papoose Dry Lake, the last place
where the group of would-be gold-diggers camped together before
splintering in search of water.
His problem: The dry lake and the canyon that is thought to contain
the inscription are deep within one of the nation's most restricted
military bases.
