Continue the journey through Maryland's Patapsco Forest State Park in Part 2 of this silent film series. This installment further explores the park's lush forests, flowing streams, and the striking Avalon Dam on the Patapsco River. It showcases the ongoing efforts of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) members as they toil with picks and shovels to build roads, clear riverbanks, drain swampy areas, lay trails, and break rock, all while living in rustic outdoor quarters. The film concludes with a sweeping panoramic view of Baltimore, Maryland, linking the natural beauty of the park with its urban neighbor.
