My uncle Peter was in town recently, and he suggested that we (the extended family and some friends) should visit Alamogordo, New Mexico on the first Saturday of either April or October. Those are the two days each year that the Trinity Test Site on the White Sands Proving Grounds opens to the public. There is something about being able to go to ground zero for the first successful nuclear test that piques my interest. That, and being able to see sand that has been fused into glass by a nuclear weapon.

Anyone interested?
