A Wrong Turn Leads to Tragic Past

After taking a wrong turn and completely lost on a quiet country road in the Arboga area of Yuba County California, I spotted a very strange sight in a field. Big posters of faces and metal cutouts of building silhouettes.

I pulled over to take a closer look and found it to be a memorial to a Japanese Detention center from World War II in a large vacant field. I was all alone and it was very windy which made the mood of the place even more somber than it already was.

This very thought-out and meaningful display was erected in 2021. If I hadn’t gotten myself lost, I would have never seen this. So only armed with my iPhone, I went about putting this short somber video together.

I could go on an angry rant about the all social injustices humans have put upon one another on this planet, but I think I made my feelings clear by bringing you this video.
