White Sands Missile Range, N. M.

Established in 1945, the White Sands Missile Range is America's largest overland military test range. Some of the missles we saw, were head scratchers. The first atomic bomb was tested at Trinity Site on July 16, 1945. It was cool to see the Patriot missle used in Desert Storm. We had an interesting time at this museum. The security was still very tight to get on the base, that is a good thing!

Afterwards, we stopped and had an enjoyable picnic on our way home.
