Yeah, and fuel was rationed, and hopping in the family sedan for a 350 mile trip, on mostly dirt roads was a real treat.

Remember too, there were no interstates, there were only two cross country highways back then as well. Both two lane except for towns where they became 4 lanes wide.

That's why these small towns relied on themselves for safety. It might be difficult for someone in New York to get to Tule Lake California. The location poses no problem to those in proximity to Tule Lake.

I hope the old gal was just lying.

The story doesn’t make sense, in the 40’s most everyone was trying to survive and were all in on the war effort, they didn’t have the time or resources to drive hours away to protest.
