Download or read book Two Hands and a Shovel written by Jack Hartt and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the federal government transferred 1700 acres around Deception Pass to Washington State Parks in 1922, Deception Pass State Park was barely an idea. Lacking the funds and manpower to develop the site, citizens could only dream of the area's enormous potential as a future park. The spark that finally made Deception Pass a reality came during the Great Depression in the form of federal legislation. To fight massive national unemployment, the Civilian Conservation Corps was created in 1933. The program put young men to work restoring and developing the nation's natural resources and recreational lands. Deception Pass was home to two CCC camps. For nearly a decade members built trails, roads, picnic shelters, restrooms, bathhouses, and other features that remain visible and useful in the park to this day. Lacking modern machinery and financial resources, most of their work was completed using little more than basic tools and their own hands. Through photographs from public and private collections this book documents that work and honors the achievements of the men of the CCC in creating the developed landscapes of Deception Pass State Park.

Then, after taking the summer off to work, she started again, hiking south from Maine for a much more solitary experience on what is called a Flip Flop on the Appalachian Trail.
