my father worked the CCC and traveled the county side. I have the letters he wrote home to my mother while they had been dating until he was housed every where. I like to point out projects to people, so many know so little about this countries not that distant history. There are projects all through our town pathways through wooded parks and by the palisades so many more including dance halls and ranger stations. They built parts of the Appalachian trail. My fathers group planted trees to end the dust bowl. Note recently read that mega agra companies were taking down those trees so they could plant more.
