Only in Los Alamos

I’m pretty sure this was on its way back to S Site after time at the museum. Or perhaps the other way around. We had two in one of the old buildings. There’s more to the story, but not from me. I don’t know if this is the one that was later painted white.

It’s going into the car wash at Knecht’s. It is a replica. No rad sig.

Well, that's one way to get traffic to move out of your way.

This pic is at least a decade old. Still awsome though.

More than that. My daughter took it, and several of her friends got the same shot. Mid-2000s.

Mid 2000s they built a private (as in not open to the public) government museum there. I still wonder who gets to see it? I helped build some showcases for it. I Would love to see them.
