My cousin's family was incarcerated at Heart Mountain. She often complains about the bitter cold in "camp" because coming from Los Angeles, they had no heavy, winter clothing. :mad:
A dark moment in our history to be sure.....

Due to Asian American month on PBS, I recorded lots of specials and am now watching them to see if I can learn something new....(the Museum at Heart Mt is wonderful.) One special I watched focused in on The Americans of Japanese heritage in the Pacific NW. Portland residents were sent to stock yards tempararily and the Seattle ones were sent to Cle Elum fairgrounds....then I read a story about the babies and children rounded up in orphanages and sent to Manzanar

If you've never been across Beartooth Pass you need to put it on your list. Two of my most memorable rides was across that highway.
It is on the must do list for most, I think. I have been over it many times on bikes and cars...Sunlight basin/Chief Joeseph Highway are great also....as is the ride from Cody to the park....the earlier the better...gonna camp out at my fav spot in the Bighorns....

I stayed in a USFS campground just east of Ten Sleep a few years ago. There are several and I don’t think it was Sitting Bull. Beautiful country. I stopped for gas and a greasy donut at Ten Sleep the next morning.
Yes, Beartooth pass is spectacular. I’ve done it several times in both directions. IMG_20150902_072822880_HDR.jpegIMG_0255.jpeg

Over the last 32 years, I have stayed at about half of them. I am so old I remember when you didn't need a reservation. Circle park is nice but nothi g beats West Tensleep lake.
