Blue Skies, White Sands , and Not a Mushroom Cloud in Sight (Day 123)
November 19th, 2009
They’re all basically the same photo. Most of them were taken from the “trail” that goes out to the alkali lake bed, which is why they have all the footprints and trail markers in them.
(And if you click on the photo, you’ll get a full-size version.)
It was as serene as it was surreal. The starkness of the sand was — stark. It seemed like it’d be a pretty bad place to get lost.
And, unfortunately, they weren’t testing any missiles. And I wasn’t there on one of the two days a year that they give tours of the Trinity test site. I did, however, get to see a few F-22s and Luftwaffe Tornadoes circling around, though.
