I’m coming back on April 18, 2009. Its my family, and two other families. I want to know what to take, according to the weather. I’m saying in a cabin, though, so no tents.We are going hiking,and will go star watching/birding, too. Thanks in Advance!
P.S. What are some things to keep in a small First-Aid kit, one thatcan fit into a back pack? I might have to use it during Hiking or so.
You’ll defnitely want to layer your clothes this time of year since you won’t know if it’ll be sunny, rainy and/or cold. Dont’ forget a pair of jeans and some thick sox.
First aid kit is definitely a top 3 item. Keep basics like aspirine, bandaids, bacitracine (sp?), but keep stuff like bandages, bandage tape and don’t forget those glue sticks to close up deep cuts.
Of course a lighter or waterproof matches, laterns or flashlights, and a good pocket knife (not the tiny ones, but about 6″ open).
One other thing…if it looks like it’s going to be a little wet, see if the camp ground sells firewood or prepare to bring some yourself.
Other than that enjoy! Have fun.
