highway. |

"Camp Needmore" facility covers 9.5 acres. The
main Mess Hall/Kitchen, six Bunkhouses, Tank House Bathroom/Shower and
Pump House are all original "C.C.C." structures. |

to 1973, the Carter Post #60, American
Legion operated the site as an organization camp |

have applied for a new permit to operate "Camp
Needmore" as an organization
