Official Scenic Historic Marker

OFFICIAL SCENIC HISTORIC MARKER

TRINITY
SITE

"The world's first atomic explosion occurred on July 16, 1945, at the Trinity Site near the north end of the historic Jornada del Muerto. It marked the beginning of the nuclear age, and the culmination of the Manhattan Project. The site, now part of the White Sands Missile Range, is closed to the public."

Film crew, monument in background Although the site is usually closed to the public, there is a public open house on the first Saturday in April and October, in most years. A variety of displays, souvenir vendors, and food booths were near the parking area. Speeches were given at the monument at ground zero. Old photos were displayed along the fence around the site. People wandered around looking, photographing, measuring radiation, talking and thinking.

Quote of the moment
Great compassion and wisdom are the chief qualities of the Buddha. Even in worldly terms, the more intelligent and knowledgeable a person is, the more the person commands respect. Similarly, the more compassionate, kind, and gentle a person, the more he or she should be respected.

So if you are able to develop that intelligence and altruism to their fullest extent, then you are truly admirable and deserve to be respected.

~ The Path to Tranquility, July 19, 14th Dalai Lama ~
