Dr. Reno's archaeology lecture on Aug. 22 attracted a small but fascinated audience with many questions. He described the Civilian Conservation Corp's attempt at a flood control project for Bunkerville, NV in the 30's. The young CCC men ended up creating some skilled rock work that still exists today, but did not succeed in preventing flooding.
Interestingly, Reno pointed out that the original Silver City School House survived until its fiery demise in part due to a successful CCC project. More on that later...
