I am posting as a Sunday Slider.
Pine tree's planted by the CCC. Below is a copy and paste.
"The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal. Originally for young men ages 18–23, it was eventually expanded to young men ages 17–28. "We have several tree stands here that they planted.

Wide look at the Highway Concourse & Retaining Wall (now affectionately known as the "Castle") at Gooseberry Falls State Park.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built this, and other major and minor park features in the 1930's as part of the New Deal that was designed to get men back to work during the Great Depression.
Gooseberry Falls State Park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota on Scenic Highway 61.
This is in Lacey-Keosaqua State Park where we spent a pleasant afternoon yesterday walking the wooded trails. This is the second oldest state park in Iowa and in the 1930's the Civilian Conservation Corps built a number of stone structures here including this bridge.
Taken about 1½ months ago in Lacey Keosaqua State Park, one of Iowa's oldest parks. A close look will show the bridge has been reinforced at some point in its history.
Been off for a while visiting family and dodging snowstorms. Will try to get caught up viewing and commenting.
Me: What are you doing Quinne?
Quinne: Photographing my blythe doll.
Me: Oh...
Quinne: I found a group online where I can upload pictures of my blythe doll!

Me: Are you spying on the neighbors again?
Quinne: Yea! I'm trying out these new high tech binoculars I bought.
Me: What's in your backpack?
Quinne: Spying supplies.
Me: What are spying supplies?
Quinne: Shhhhh, I'm busy and you're loud!
First entry for CCCXIII in the micro category.
The MOC was designed around that house design, which I came up with during the summer but never actually tested until last month. This build is much more complex than it looks, which is partially why it ended up taking almost 2 months to build...
The micro watermill is based on the use of a bar as a corner beam. After that, the rest comes together with some SNOTted tiles and fiddly techniques. The roof, connected with a few clips, was one of the hardest parts.
The windmill is a bit simpler, but it was still pretty hard to get a nice tapered shape with a variety of tiny round structure techniques.
Update: this MOC is now on Lego ideas! Go support it here!
Voila, and here it is! My masterpiece of the year! An entry in the Haunted Inn Category of the Classic Castle Contest.
Approximately a month of building time and several different versions (I scrapped an entire landscape).
You will doubtless see this build in some of the various RPGs I am a part of, and it will also be posted on my Facebook (Please go check me out there!).
The street was a last minute addition due to much helpful advice which I conveniently ignored for several weeks. C&C appreciated!
