Dan,

Are you referring to the pattern of liquor bottles on the periphery of
the camp or the lack of "trash" on the camp that Mark noted (or both)?

I have found the same pattern on the periphery of WPA camps and crew
work 
areas, especially WPA rock quarries.  WPA crews were quite active here
in 
Mid Tenn on improving public parks, etc.
