Cedar Pipeline Ranch
Mrs Helen Fallini lived here in the early 1950's when there was nuclear testing 20-25 miles away. She was asked how she felt about the testing and said " My feelings toward it are that we were nothing, that we were played for guinea pigs. It wasn't supposed to hurt us in any way, shape, or form and yet we got that fallout so heavily that it was unbelievable. And then my nephew got sick and died, and we had dogs that went blind and cattle that were burned." The family moved.
