Delta, UT Topaz Internment Camp


We have spent this week, and will spend next week in our home park.  Delta is about 100 hundred miles south of Salt Lake City.  It is a farming and mining community of very friendly people.Delta's town Park  Rollie is overlooking their town square which has lots of flowers, and some running water with a picnic area on the grounds. 
     Nearby is an interment camp from WWII for Japanese people who the government suspected of war crimes.  There were over 110,000 Japanese removed from their homes, and placed in these camps until the war was over.  Amazing that this happened in our country!!Internment Camp

     The historical society is now restoring the site of this camp, and will restore some of the buildings that were here.

      Along the way, we have also been geocaching.  We have more than 85 finds, and have also found some travel bugs.  This hobby is taking us to place we would never have travelled….lol….Geocaching
     So here is Rollie on top of a mountain…just to find that cache we couldn’t live without……Smile
