Heart Mountain Relocation Center, Heart Mountain, Wyoming. Cold Wyoming winters make for hard solid ice, and residents at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center were quick to construct ice skating ponds. To former Californians, the sport was new and during the first weeks many, like the two lads shown, were learning to skate the hard way.
