This seems to be a warning from the Bishop Police Department to deter travelers from visiting. Meanwhile, Mammoth Lake appears to be thriving and progressing, while Bishop seems to be deteriorating due to a lack of tourists. I can confidently say I will never stay in Bishop again.

Even as a visitor, I find these conditions to be uncomfortable, so I could not imagine being forced to live out here in subhuman conditions for an indefinite period of time. However, that is what over 120,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese Nationals living in the USA were forced to do during WWII - and 10,000 men, women, children and babies were forced to do just that at Manzanar. The Visitors Center is only open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday - so we were not able to see it, but we were able to eat our lunches in the Mess Hall. I also explored the barracks, and saw the rest of this historic site by bus and on foot. Don't miss seeing Merritt Park, the Children's Village area, and the Issei Obelisk. This site is a powerful reminder that History repeats itself, and visiting Manzanar is an extremely moving and meaningful experience for everyone. Peace.

I have driven past the turnoff for Manzanar over a dozen times. I have known about it since I was…read morein middle school but never went. My sister and I have been taking my nephew to significant sites of WW11 over the years starting with Pearl Harbor and Auschwitz. Being part Japanese, we felt this was an important stop. The grounds are very well maintained. The educational aspect of it is great. The rangers have taken great care to show an accurate representation of what "camp" life was like. The recreated rooms, shacks and monuments have been meticulously built. The rangers were great about sharing knowledge. The book store has some great books that are not available on Amazon. The parking is a breeze. The entrance is free. When entrance is free to somewhere like this I like to support by donating or buying items that help support the cause. I bought my nephew and I each a book and a couple other little things. I also really like that they participate in the Junior Ranger Program. It was a great way for not just my nephew but myself to learn too. It was a great family activity. I highly recommend visiting. It can be a little emotionally draining but it is an important part of American History that we cannot forget.

Upon my second visit, with the requested document, I was then told I needed something showing my physical address. In Mammoth Lakes we do not get US mail at our physical address due to snow. Nothing else was indicated. Upon my third visit, with the document requested, I was then told it also had to show my PO Box. Nothing else was indicated. Shortly after this visit, I hadn't been anywhere else, I came down with the RSV virus. I was extremely sick for three weeks. Upon my fourth visit, with the requested documents, I was then told I needed legal documents showing my name changes from two previous marriages and divorce. Documents 40 and 50 years old. Needless to say, I was extremely furious and frustrated! Why did it take FOUR visits to be told this?! And this was after waiting in line for a ticket, the employee verifying my paperwork, given a number and once again waiting. It was a waste of my time and money and theirs. Each visit was a 90 minute round trip along with all the time waiting. I am flying in June so decided to just go with a passport. Which I easily obtained. The employees need to be better trained as to what documents are needed from the person sitting in front of them to eliminate this from happening again to someone else. When I checked off all the boxes of what was needed, nowhere did it state needing these last documents. It wasn't until I googled exactly what was requested did it show this. It shouldn't have taken four visits to the DMV!
