In the town of my birth, the large city park is a renovated camp for German Americans during WWII. It's at least a square mile in size, from the
little I've read about it, it held an awful lot of people. I'll see if I can find out a little more about it. The information is out there, one of
my friends did a high school report on it.
As for researching the FEMA camps in place today, I was just considering looking into trying to find the location of the supposed camp in Clearwater
National Forest in northern Idaho where I attend college, a a few hours from the pass mentioned on the lists I've seen.
If I can get a map of the railroads that run through CNF, I might try and round up a few friends to go on a hiking trip along the tracks to see if we
can find it, or anything that resembles it at any rate. This wouldn't be until spring though as it is already getting cold here in Idaho and it's
not exactly a fun place to be if it happens to snow.
