You pass garden nurseries on your right, and a rock quarry on the left. You see cows grazing in the endless fields that are along the highway, and you can smell the manure from the fields.

You can smell the BBQ shop down the road before you see it, and as you pass it you can see the enormous roaster that fuels the business. Soon you’re out of the city and engulfed by trees and stunning scenery once again. A few more curves in the road and you’re almost there! You see the sign for Camp, and you slow down and turn right onto the side road. You pass under a teal bridge and a flood of memories come back.

Throughout WWII, people of different countries were interned and imprisoned in camps all over the world. Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were taken out of their homes and placed in internment camps like Manzanar to detain them from communicating with Japan. Families were torn apart in these camps, leaving them scattered across the United States. The Japanese-Americans were deprived of the claim of habeas corpus, and soon they attempted to return to the life that they lived before the war. Even after Camp Manzanar was closed and World War II ended, Japanese-American families on the West Coast still experienced prejudice and unfairness in their new lives.

Once arriving at UGA, I walked into Ramsey startled by the excitement coming from the basketball court. All of the camp counselors were beyond theatric when all of the campers came in one by one. As the day went on, I began to connect with my group, Silver 4, more and more. We were able to talk about our

Its amazing now, but back when there was several tourist attractions this road would be

Austin was really set on going to the Cheyenne Depot Plaza, so that's was where we stopped for lunch. It was an interesting place, I was awestruck by some of the art and how well kept the place looked. Once again we started on our way out of the Dodge City. Once we were on the outside of the city, we took Happy Jack Road to see all the massive wind mills in all directions.
