Cottrell who is a senior recreation specialist for the Tennessee Valley author Ity. Cottrell has been designing Camp grounds for More than 20 years 15 of which were with the . Forest service from what i be seen Here  far the potential is quite Good he said. I m impressed with the concept of having Armel forces travel Camps Here in  Licari said we re taking him around to communities that Are planning travel Camps  he can Check out the proposed Sites. He can then advise them on How to develop the areas if they do indeed have the potential. At the Usa eur level hell be helping us plan our travel Camp net work. We have to decide which areas to develop first and establish priorities for the  one of the communities Cottrell visited was bad Kreuz Nach where he discussed blueprints for improving a campsite Here with recreation services officer John Sena Tore the site in an. Area known As Schloss Rhei Grafenstein is about five Miles from Rose Barracks at bad Kreuz Nach. The 100 acre wooded area includes a German fit Ness Trail picnic area and skeet and trap shooting facilities. Proposed improve ments include a snack bar Badminton volleyball courts Archery Range laundromat restrooms showers and individual water Hook  for camping trailers. Cottrell and Senatore said the campsite when completed could be operational eight months of the year. According to Licari the individual communities will be responsible for developing the Camps. Construction will involve local Engineer support troop labor and Volun Teer work in addition to the official fund ing. One of the primary considerations is that the design of each Campground mini Mize environmental damage said cot Trell. He said he does t see any major problems in developing the travel Camp network throughout Europe. The Only thing i would say is that these people Aren t thinking big enough he said.
