Winter Camping starts at Danforth Bay!

Winter camping started this weekend at Danforth Bay. Our original plans was to head up on Thursday evening but mother nature had changed that plan! The ice storm which hit northern Mass and southern New Hampshire caused us to loose power at home and we wisely stayed home. We ended up loosing power early Friday morning and it did not come back until Friday evening. Our neighbors right behind us (on a different street) still does not have power and this includes 1/2 of our neighbors. Hope everyone made out ok! We headed up on Saturday morning.

Some winter camping tips are already forming:
  • Hats, mittens, scarfs, winter coats are needed!
  • Ice-delocker. Our locks were FROZEN! I had to pull the blow dryer out of my wife's suitcase in order to open the camper.
  • Ice-chipper is your most important tool!
  • Lots of blankets. We found some fleece throws at Walmart for $4.
  • Sleds! The kids enjoyed taking walks and going through the woods.
Stay tuned! More to come for sure!
