9.00. Well we got over here about nine o’clock last night. We are in a better camp and a better view of scenery.
Got a better job over here. Am cutting down dead wood for the kitchen and the stoves in the tents. We have a good place to work in.Robert

That was a quick move. It probably didn't take too long to pack though. The enrollees didn't have a huge amount of equipment. Per one of the quartermaster reviews, the equipment they were issued is below:
Three suits of underwear Six pairs of stockings One pair of shoes Two pairs of denim trousers and jumpers One pair of woolen trousers Two flannel shirts One tie One waist belt One hat One raincoat
In 1934 the business of supplying the CCC was enormous. After the program was created, it ramped up quickly. Suddenly there were thousands of men to feed, house and equip for work. This put many suppliers to work and created jobs.
The Sherburne Lake area is close to the Many Glacier Hotel which was almost burnt in the Heaven's Peak fire. It does indeed provide for some beautiful views of scenery.
