Sometime in 1957-1958, when we lived in China Lake CA, my father was going to observe an atmospheric detonation at the Nevada Test Site from the air in a Navy plane. He tipped off my mother, who got us out of bed in the early morning before dawn. (In front of our on base house was just desert with mountains in the distance.) We were too far from the detonation to hear anything, but when it went off some 150 miles or so away from us, the sky went instantly bright. Some time later, a moderate breeze (the pressure wave) went by. A few years later, the U.S. stopped atmospheric testing.

A nice new rest stop in Utah, storm brewing, not one other human there, just us, in the middle of the day. |

I thought you said earlier you were in a Ford of some sort, not a helicopter.

So I'm visiting my daughter and SOL, they live outside of Thunder Bay on Lake Superior. We went for a long boat ride today, stopped at an abandoned silver mine on South Mckellar Island and then over to a neat cove on Pie Island. Went for a swim at Pie Island, Lake Superior is a bit chilly kids. Sorry about the quality but I shot them with my iPhone.

We visited Dachau outside of Munich in May of this year. This is the first camp and became the blueprint for human processing throughout the rest of the camps. You are right - no words.
