On July 16, 1945 the first test of the Atomic Bomb was conducted in the southern New Mexico desert. The result of this test was the start of the Nuclear Age and the beginning of the end of World War II. Located on White Sands Missile Range, the site is open to visitors only for a few hours each year. Saturday, April 4th we are leaving at 8-8:30 from Rio Rancho/Albuquerque and will enter the range thru Stallion Gate. To obtain a visitor pass for the few hours, you will need current ID, vehicle registration and proof of insurance.. After visiting ground zero known as the Trinity Site we will go to the ranch house where the device was assembled. The Range visit will close at 3:30. We expect to stop by the Owl Cafe where the scientists and technicians would stop for eats when working on the device. Anyone wanting to take a look at this unique piece of history, please join us on this drive. Give me a shout if you do.
