    I see the Trinity monument up on front page. The Trinity site opens usually once a year for tourists. Some friends and I made a road trip there in 1995 for the 50th anniversary, arriving about 5:30 in the morning. There was a half-mile line of cars. There were quite a few people who worked at Los Alamos during the war, together with a fair many veterans and a pretty good number of Japanese tourists. There were also a bunch of incongruent hippies who sang peace songs and then threw fake blood on the monument–they didn’t really fit in with the reverence that most other people had for the site.

    This just linked to some stupid ad for a CD about “secret nuclear sites” or some such drivel.

    Was there actual useful info at that link?
