I often wonder what mementos and miscellaneous items people put in time capsules for future generations. I would imagine the wildlife refuge put in documentation regarding the history of this refuge and the variety of wildlife and vegetation that was being managed at the time. Unfortunately, I won't be alive when this time capsule is opened.
