Summer's First Heat Wave

It's gonna be a hot one in the park today, and even warmer tomorrow. Here are some tips for staying cool in the park



1. Open all doors and windows early in the day to fill your trailer with the cool morning air. Due to the temperature extremes between night and day in May in New York, this means you may have to put on your winter coat again while you eat breakfast. Don't worry, you'll be plenty warm in a few hours.

2. Refrain from using your oven or other heat-producing appliances during the heat of the day. Schedule your baking for early in the day, and plan to use the GRILL!

3. In the afternoon, pull your shades or curtains to keep the late day sun from broiling you in your own home. And remember,

4. If the heat gets too extreme, don't take any chances - LEAVE your trailer and get to the safety of a shady tree or, even better, the cool of one of the near-by lakes!
