Today’s Run: \u00a02.50 miles<\/p>\n

I have spent the last week in Severance, Colorado. \u00a0Severance is a remote suburb of Denver. \u00a0Very. Remote. \u00a0I found out today that between where we are located and Ft. Collins (15 miles from Severance) there is the location of a former WWII POW Camp. \u00a0Interesting.<\/p>\n

My daughter originally told me that the POW camp was an old internment camp from WWII. \u00a0 She was mistaken. \u00a0I came back to the house and “Googled” it and discovered that it was, instead, an old POW camp.<\/p>\n

Upon further investigation, I found out that it housed German POW’s. \u00a0Being the history buff that I am, I spent that afternoon at my laptop saying things like, “Wow!” and “Interesting” and, “Look at this!” to my daughter. \u00a0She was bored beyond tears and regretting pointing this camp out out me.<\/p>\n

The prisoners were “forced” to do agricultural work. \u00a0This area grows beet and onions and carrots. \u00a0They did planting and harvesting~depending upon the time of year.<\/p>\n

I will not bore you with any other details. \u00a0Just suffice it to say, I was fascinated! \u00a0I did manage to find one pic, online, of a building from the POW camp and will attempt to share it with you here.<\/p>\n
