Lava Beds, Modoc people & war, CCC, Bureau of Reclamation, and Japanese Internment Natl Mon CA (1046)

Lava Beds, Modoc people & war, CCC, Bureau of Reclamation, and Japanese Internment Natl Mon CA (1046)
An amazing park, which deserves a much better name. While the park was created based on the lava beds, the park does an excellent job of covering the Modoc war and the plight of the Modoc people under white settlement, the role of the Civilian Conservation Corps in creating the park, the Bureau of Reclamation's reshaping of the landscape by draining Tule Lake, and the nearby operation of the Tulelake Japanese Internment camp during WWII.

I would have liked to have swung by this one when we passed through Northern California last summer, but it was just too far out of the way to be reasonable. I probably won't come anywhere near within the next five years.

The first time I visited it I approached it as being about lava beds and didn't really appreciate until this time how diverse it is. And, because it is largely unknown and not near a major cross-country route, it's seldom crowded, thus making it well worth a visit.
