Located at the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge is a centennial time capsule that is encased in a lava rock base. The lid to the time capsule reads:

National Wildlife Refuge System

1903 - 2003

NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM
CENTENNIAL TIME CAPSULE
1903-2003

MODOC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

COMMITTED MARCH 14, 2003
TO BE OPENED MARCH 14, 2103

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.
