What is the history of California Ponderosa Road, in the context of the Second World War? Was it a secret route by ACE?
Ponderosa Road connects Canada to Mexico. Supposedly a secret route developed by the Army Corps of Engineers during World War II to be used when roads are cut. I am looking for the story and the facts surrounding this way, some of which is opened and used, regardless of the dirt and gravel, some accessible by 4WD.
I am very doubtful about it. It has no intrinsic meaning and is not compatible with any evidence. I would suggest contacting a) the history, people CEHO@usace.army.mil ACE, b) the California Department of Transportation http://www.dot.ca.gov/writeus.htm c) Professor Bruce Seely is a historian bseely@mtu.edu distinguished road network United States. Good luck.
