Pocahontus State Park

It's where I've been hiking the last two days. Really beautiful. Funny thing is that it was build by the CCC during the depression. They actually have a CCC museum there. for those of you too young to have studied this in history, the CCC is short for the Civilian Conservation Corp and was part of Roosevelt's attempt to use government funding to create jobs during the depression. See the idea I had the other day to use the money spent in Iraq to rebuild America isn't new. It was tried before. O yeah, and it did a lot to build the national infrastructure that we have now and are now allowing to deteriorate.
