Lee,

Alcohol consumption was formally banned from CCC camps, but 
oral histories and archaeological studies tell a different 
story.  Our excavations at NP-2 recovered a large number of 
liquor bottles -- not in the dump or from contexts within the 
site, but on the forest periphery.  Quite a structuralist 
study in behavior -- the ordered world of the camp and the 
forbidden zone of the forest.  Carole
