Taking a 5,500 mile road trip on historic highways this spring, we stumbled upon a rare find... a WWII Internment camp in Eastern Colorado. This is my first posting to the photo gallery so I hope it comes out o.k. This was a relatively unmarked area that once housed 7,500 "relocated" Japanese Americans near Granada Colorado. Not much left of the camp other than foundations of barracks and some descriptions of the facility, but a fascinating find that is slowly being restored as an historical site.
