the Pinedale location was selected because it was a lumberyard, w/ preexisting access to rail lines & extant water lines, if not sewer. inmates slept in shacks made of unfinished lumber. the camp newspaper, "the Logger," references this prior usage. after May, 1942, it was a concentration camp.

i learned in interviews that around the fenced perimeter, kids from Fresno would gather and throw rocks at the people inside. I spoke with a woman from Tacoma, WA, whose mother & mother's family were taken from Tacoma to the Pinedale camp by rail; an unimaginable journey.
