Rally organizers have carefully planned  routes and schedules so that you may have the opportunity to visit this historic location  which is located on the White Sands Missile Range and normally is not open to the public.  Twice each year, on the first Saturday of April and of October,  visitors are allowed onto the  missile range to visit this site which witnessed the world's first nuclear detonation in 1945.   Access is by motor vehicle through the Stallion Gate east of Socorro, New Mexico or by a bus caravan which leaves from the Otero County Fairgrounds.   Some good advice:  Don't use the bus for this rally...  and...  Watch your speed while on the the missile range and don't wander off the road,  patrol vehicles are armed with .50 calibre weapons.
