Back Gates
Unlike the “front gates” of Area 51, which only consist of a few warning signs, if you visit the back gates, you’ll actually get to see the guard shack.
Directions:
The back gate road is the first road you encounter leaving Rachel heading towards highway 93. While
there are a few branches on the road, just head straight to reach the back gates.
The GPS coordinate where the back gate road intersects the ET highway is N37 38 03.7 W115 43 11.0. The border is at N37 35 45.2 W115 53 47.3.
Obviously, you better look for the warning sign rather than depend on this waypoint.

if I talk to the cammo dudes will they talk back to me or just kill me?

They will probably just ignore you. I got within 10-12 feet of their truck on a hill right by the front gates, and we were waving and saying “hey”, but they just flipped down their visors and looked at us through binoculars.
So, as long as you’re on the right side of the border, there should be minimal carnage.
