It used to be two weekends a year, April I think and October. Could have been only 1 day each, I forget. I went to the Trinity Site in the early 90’s in October.Ski Apache is close to White Sands and Trinity Site A-Bomb was tested before being used in WWII, one day a year the actual ground zero is open to the public.

Maybe if you went back to live there? I think it does make a difference to have been raised there. I was born in Argentina, but we moved away when I was three years old. I am most definitely not a local when I visit there, even though my parents and all of my grandparents were born and raised there. We moved so much that I'm not a local anywhere.So I was born and raised in North Conway, but moved away in 1976, only to return to live there for a few months much later on. Am I a North Conway local?

I think it may have been Jay Adams in Dogtown and Z-Boys who told the story of surfing their Venice Beach stash when some KOOK was poaching their break. They sabotaged the dude's car, paddled up to him holding the distributor cap, "hey man is this yours?" Plunk, dropped it in the water..

Some times you just don't feel it, but I agree with the idea of becoming involved and engaged where ever you are. But that can be tricky if you're an "outsider."Be a local wherever you go! You just need to care enough to be involved and engaged.
Is the locals only diss the tourist culture worse in Europe? ..
That to me would be a native. There is a difference.I’ve always felt that a real local means born and raised there.
