Side Trip to Manzanar

We headed out for our family summer camping trip on Sat. July 23 -- packing and prepping for 5 people was a feat! But finally we hit the road towards our first camping spot just north of Bishop. On the way there, we stopped for a moment at Manzanar - one of the "War Relocation Center"s for Japanese Americans in WWII -- the boys found it interesting and we got to see a short film and some momentos and reproductions -- it's amazing what fear will cause us to do to fellow Americans - I hope this does not happen again....
