Say, was wondering :icon_scratch: if it has ever been discussed or anyone has researched :icon_study: and hunted the many CCC Camps that were around during the Depression on up until WWII. Being a WWII History nut would think it would be not only fun hunting but researching. There were gads of those camps in the U.P.
Civilian Conservation Corp was very similar to being in the military right down to wearing uniforms. Thanks for your time guys :thumbsup:

I have hunted several down here in the LP. One of them still has all of the sidewalks in place that linked all of the buildings. This must have been quite the operation, given all that construction in such a remote location. BTW, my grandfather served in WWII and worked in a couple of CCC Camps when he returned from the war. He is still living (86 years young) and a wealth of information.
