@ravigupta Civilian Conservation Corps. They worked on a bunch of projects like this in the 1930s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps

@manton Man, the CCC was such a gift… have you visited Longhorn Cavern Statepark? All built by the CCC, and amazing history.

@hiro I haven’t, but it’s on the list! I’m been to a bunch of parks, but this year I’m starting over and visiting all 88. Only 4 so far.

@Ddanielson Amazing your dad was in it! They left behind some enduring, great work.

@manton Epic!! I’m envious, look forward to following along on your blog.

According to Josh Nicholas “CCC” stands for Chocolate Coffee Cake in Melbourne, which fits with Civilian Conservation Corps in Texas; both are wholesome, fills one up, the former literally, the latter morally.

Timeline feeds can be funny that way, relating the unrelated.
