Twice a year, the Trinity Site in New Mexico is open to the public, the first Saturdays of October and April. October 2008, I visited Ground Zero where the first atomic bomb was exploded on July 16, 1945.
My memoirs and some pictures of that visit are published in the online magazine TRAVEL THRU HISTORY.
Please feel free to check out my article: The Trinity Site: Where the First Atomic Bomb was exploded.
Walking about Ground Zero and the McDonald ranch house, where the first bomb was partially assembled, was a somber experience.

Note: As you see in my picture, "where the toilets are" is very important to us vistors.
