functional first-aid kit is appropriate. You don’t need most

items in a commercial kit. Some large Bandaids, anti-itch

cream, eye wash, scissors, bandage tape and a handful of

triangular bandages will address most situations.

RV sites are usually safe, but the adventurous types

may wander off or decide to experience the cliff diving

techniques into the quarry next door if left to their own

reasoning. Don’t leave children unattended or unsuper-

vised, and have some ground rules established before

letting them leave the nest at camp such as how to commu-

nicate with you (does the cell phone work?) or reporting in

periodically or what to do or where to go if they get lost or

directionally challenged.

A few preplanned decisions will keep everyone safe.

Viewfinder Corrections

Water Towers

In the March/April “Viewfinder” column, the

“teapot” water tower located in Lindstrom,

Minnesota, is actually a coffeepot. Lindstrom

is a town with a Swedish/Scandinavian heri-

tage of people who really like their coffee.

No Parking

I got a kick out of the sign allowing

“overnight parking, but no sleeping,” in

the January/February “Viewfinder” col-

umn. However, being a Lake Havasu City,

Arizona, resident, the sign is not from Lake

Havasu City since there is no casino within

the city. The sign cites a Clark County or-

dinance, and Clark County is in Nevada. There is also a Riverside

Casino (note the trash can) in Laughlin, Nevada.
