Tips for Camping in the Adirondacks
Avoid Unwanted Animal
Visits
While camping in the Adirondacks, you may
encounter a visit from a wild animal. Although most wild animals are afraid of
people, some of them may still approach our campsites. Do
NOT feed them. This not only hampers the animals natural
instincts but it encourages them to make repeat visits. They
may even decide to help themselves. ALWAYS store your food
away in a car or hang it in a tree. NEVER leave food in your
tent. These animals can and will do a lot of damage.

A frisbee will add
support to paper plates when the plate is placed inside the
frisbee.

Don't get bit!
Remember that
mosquitoes and biting flies seem to like dark colored
clothing and the perfumed scents of many grooming products
(soaps, shampoos, colognes, etc.)
Cleaning Tips for
Coolers
Clean both the inside
and outside with a solution of mild soap and warm water.
If the product has a faucet, be sure to
rinse with hot water and drain completely.
To remove tough stains, use baking soda
and water.
Always air dry with lid open before
storing.
