Remember, every node must be visited!

Hi! I've solved the Area51 (or I've think I've solved it). With every node visited.

But I don't know how to get the clue for the Advent puzzle. I've tried reading only letters inside the fence, or outside the fence, vertically or horizontally, but I only get meaningless words. Am I getting the clue properly? If so, it's clear I've not solved the Area51. But just to be sure this is the right procedure.

Thanks!

After solving the Area 51, pretend the inside of the loop is a maze. Travel from the top left alien head to the bottom right, and write out the letters you pass on the valid path.
