The two incidents I mentioned in the previous entry I'll expand on in this entry. First, the raccoon encounter. Although I was not present the night it happened I heard about the raccoons a number of times.
It seems that raccoons enjoy a little sodium in their diets as they devoured a bag of Doritos. They made quite a racket eating and fighting over the snack food that was left out under a screened shelter. The shelter had no floor so the varmints entered through the bottom of the shelter. A teacher was in the shelter as well, lying on a picnic table after he left his own tent for fear of snoring and waking up his fellow tent mates. Bang! Something fell to the ground. Screeeee! The two raccoons seemed to be fighting over the same chip. The teacher exits the shelter in a hurry. One student whose head was only a couple of feet away from the melee was oblivious to the noise that everyone else was kept awake to, he is deaf and losing his vision, slept through the whole episode.
I wrote a bit about sitting around the campfire and singing to the strumming of a guitar the second night of the trip. The guitarist, who has love on his mind, left his rather nice guitar out all night long in the rain. Luckily the guitar was in its case and only got a little wet. He would have to buy another case but the guitar sustained little damage.
