never realized that fact.

NM should have an Atomic Bomb trail to tell the story of what happened. We visited Trinity Site with the kids back in the '80s and we were all sobered by the experience. The kids still remember it vividly to this day as we do.

We've also been to Los Alamos (with them back then), once by myself in the '70s on a classified project to talk to their people, and by ourselves a couple of times since then.

We live in the East but our hearts were left in NM.
