Don't Worry About The Government

If you're traveling out in the middle of nowhere and happen to run across a well-built trail or excellent stone masonry in a national or state park, chances are that it was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. It was an elegant solution to a big problem. People were out of work due to the Great Depression, so the CCC was established by the federal government to employ folks to build public works that we still use today. It's too bad that we live in a time when many Americans have forgotten that "we the people" have a government that is supposed to do good stuff for everyone.

This stone restroom behind me has withstood 80 years of fires and flash floods. They don't make 'em like they used to.
