Overnight trip to Manzanar from Las Vegas
Manzanar National Historic Site的点评
点评：I took a "side trip" from Las Vegas to Manzanar. It was a grueling 4 hour drive each way but was worth seeing once.
Manzanar has a rich history that started with the Paiute Indians.
During WWII it was the site of an internment camp.
Although it is a National Park, I fear it will be shut down because of DEI.
As a "mostly" third generation Japanese American I was curious about the hardships endured during WWII and the ingenuity of the internees in preserving some of their native culture. What was especially moving was the psychology of the internees. Imagine being taken from your home after doing nothing wrong with no idea if you're ever returning home. They seemed to accept their fate and made the best of a bad situation.
Along the route We stopped at the Area 51 Alien Center (bathroom and humorous souvenirs... and disappointed that we didn't see any aliens and UFOs) and Smokin' J's Barbeque in Beatty for their Pulled Pork Sandwich (I felt very welcome and would stop their again if I ever head back to Manzanar).
Because of the long drive, We left Las Vegas in the morning, stopped at a Trader Joe's for snacks and made the stops mentioned above. We then stayed overnight in Independence, CA at the Courthouse Motel so we could get an early start to experience Manzanar. The only down side to the route was there was no cell phone coverage for about 1 1/2 hours of the trip. It was a bit concerning for out-of-towners in a rent-a-car.
If I ever make the trip again, I would not hesitate to do the same route and stops again.

翻译：我从拉斯维加斯“顺便”去了曼扎纳。单程需要 4 个小时的车程，非常辛苦，但值得一看。
曼扎纳有着悠久的历史，始于派尤特印第安人。
二战期间，这里曾是拘留营所在地。
虽然这是一座国家公园，但我担心它会因为 DEI 而被关闭。
作为“主要”第三代日裔美国人，我对二战期间所经历的艰辛以及被拘留者在保存部分本土文化方面的独创性感到好奇。被拘留者的心理尤其令人感动。想象一下，你没有做错任何事就被带离家，不知道自己是否还能回家。他们似乎接受了自己的命运，并在糟糕的处境中尽力而为。
沿途我们在 51 区外星人中心（浴室和幽默纪念品……很失望我们没有看到任何外星人和不明飞行物）和比蒂的 Smokin' J's Barbeque 停下来吃他们的手撕猪肉三明治（我感到非常受欢迎，如果我再回到曼扎纳，我会再次光顾他们的）。
由于路途遥远，我们早上离开拉斯维加斯，在 Trader Joe's 停下来吃零食，并做了上述停留。然后我们在加利福尼亚州独立市的 Courthouse Motel 过夜，这样我们就可以早点开始体验曼扎纳。这条路线的唯一缺点是大约 1 个半小时的旅程中没有手机信号。对于租车的外地人来说，这有点令人担忧。
如果我再次旅行，我会毫不犹豫地再次走同样的路线和站点。
