Campfire Apples

6 medium apples
raisins
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Core apples and scoop out some of the flesh.  Fill each cavity with 1 teaspoon of raisins.  Top with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon; dot with butter or margarine.  Place each prepared apple on a large square of heavy-duty foil.  Seal packages and place on medium-hot coals for about 45 mins, or until apples are tender.

Dangers of Moth Balls

Since many campers tend to use mothballs during winterization of their camping units, we thought we would share this important information with you.

Moth balls contain naphthalene and are considered a pesticide. They also contain paradichlorobenzene.  The gases produced from these compounds grow and ferment over time and can be dangerous to humans and animals.  Inhaling the vapors can cause bad headaches, dizziness and respiratory distress.  Side effects can include: Irritated eyes, headache, dizziness, respiratory distress, liver damage, confusion, excitement, malaise (vague feeling of discomfort), nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, irritation in bladder, profuse sweating, jaundice, hematuria (blood in the urine), renal shutdown, dermatitis, optical neuritis, corneal damage.

The most common alternatives you can use instead of mothballs would be cedar or lavender.  Here are a few more you could also try:

• Dried penny royal
• Dried mint leaves
• Cinnamon sticks
• Cloves
• Bay leaves
• Peppercorns
• Lavender
• Ginsent
• Eucalyptus
• Rosemary
• Wormwood
• Vetiver
• Thyme
• Rose petals

Here are a few sites where you can find more information regarding mothballs.
