Nevada Test Site Trip - (semi) final details

[DRBUZZ0]

For those of you who are interested: There will be a day trip to the Nevada Test Site, the day before The Amazing Meeting (January 16). The trip will depart in the morning, around 9:30 or so and will be either by bus or cars, depending on how many people end up going. The only cost of the trip will be the transportation and cost of lunch (assuming you want to eat). As stated, this will vary based on turnout, but hopefully I’ll know soon. It won’t be much either way.

The first stop on the trip will be the Nuclear Testing Museum, followed by a tour of the test site itself. Sites include the houses used during nuclear tests in the 1950’s, some training facilities, the Sedain crater, and nuclear waste disposal sites.

I contacted the site and I have been trying to find out about cameras. They are not normally allowed, but I know that there have been documentaries, photo projects and other things filmed there. I assume that arrangements could be made, but thus far, they haven’t been very much help (at all).

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested. US citizens will need to register by January 6, but it’s recommended to do so a few days earlier. Non-US citizens should contact me as soon as possible, because papers need to be filed and it can take a bit longer, depending on citizenship, visa requirements ect ect..

Please post here or email me at Packard.stephen@gmail.com if you are interested.


Thanks

For those of you who don't know about the site and it's history, here's a lil video I made a while back

Doc, I'm interested enough to consider coming in a day earlier than I had planned, but how long is the trip and when will we get back.

Problem is, of course, a lot of people don't arrive until Wednesday and most of those that do are volunteering to help stuff packets. And to get in to meet the 0930 Tuesday departure you'd have to arrive on Monday, thus killing an entire week's vacation time and adding 1-2 nights hotel to the cost.

My suggestion is to contact Linda at the JREF and see if she can get this out to ALL the TAM people (not just the Forum) and there may be enough interest to do this. to be frank, I don't think there will be enough if you limit yourself to the Forum, and that would be a shame given the work you had to do with the Government to get this permission...

Let us know, and maybe next year see if the Monday after TAM is available--I guarantee I'll be on-board then.

Oh come on! Isn't anyone interested.

I choose wensday, because it's really something that's going to take up the whole day.

Okay... I could probably move it to monday if I do it soon.


So... Anyone interested at all? Anyone interested in it if it were moved to monday???
