New Deal Legacy

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.
Good view of part of the CCC-built guardrail in Gooseberry Falls State Park on Lake Superior's North Shore in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota..
The guardrail originally consisted of 20 stone piers connected by heavy chains. I think that all of the piers are still there, but at least one has been moved for whatever reason and there is at least one chain missing.
The stone pier guardrail is an unique and iconic part of the park. I am hoping that they will eventually restore it to CCC standards.
A close up image of the exterior siding on a cabin built by the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) circa 1935. Saw marks are visible on the wood which was cut and milled on site. The cabins are now part of Raccoon State Park and some are still in use today.
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!
Hey all!
At first I want to wish you all the best for 2018!
Here's my 5th entry in the CCC, category fantasy fortress!
As I see myself as a fantasy-castle builder, I just couldnt resist getting an entry in for this category.
I went for quite a new concept(or at least, I havent seen this done before), and I think it turned out pretty good...
I didnt make any story or background for this build, as I want this fantasy fortress be open to your own imagination...
Thanks a lot for looking, and come back tomorrow for better photo's of my 6th and final entry...

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!
Looking over a CCC-built stone and log picnic table at the stone pier and chain guardrail that was made at Gooseberry Falls State Park in the 1930's.
The park is located in Castle Danger, Minnesota (north of Two Harbors) on Lake Superior's North Shore.
Orcs are gathering their forces in the Shadow mountains for the final strike. The last war between the darkness and the light is coming...
My first entry into the Collosal Castle Contest. Category: Castle vignette.
It's one of two 8x8 vigs I will post this year. There will be a bigger build as well. ;)
Also, I'm having trouble with submitting my entry on official CCC page, is there any different way to do it?

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!
