Campsite, round 2

This is actually our second campsite for this night. Story: after
biking in on-and-off rain all day, we finished up with an hour of
rain. Arriving in camp soaking wet, we thought it would be a good idea
to set up under the trees that are barely visible to the right of the
photo. We set up camp in the rain, then it stopped for us to cook
dinner. After dinner we thought we'd walk down a path to the ocean.
By the light of our headlamps, we saw a pair of eyes reflecting back
at us but thought nothing of it. ( even though we had seen the
raccoon warnings).

The beach was awesome- big crashing waves that glowed. Maybe they
caught light from somewhere? Or maybe it was the glowing
phytoplankton. Either way, it was beautiful.

We walked back to camp to have four sets of glowing eyes in the tree
above our tent. Ha ha we thought, how cute. They look too small to be
raccoons. But it was raccoons. And they just finished raiding our
site!

All they got was some minor snacks we left in our handlebar bags...
But of course they spread everything else out they could get to and
chewed up Jodi's whole Kleenex supply. Little shnooks! They were professionals!

Luckily most of our food and toiletries were in a wooden box that the campground supplies, or we would have had a lot more to laugh about.
A full family if raccoons in the trees above us was kind of creepy. We moved to the site out of the trees. Just after the move, chris went back to check out the old site, and came back to find that all four of them had followed us an we sitting on the picnic table at our new site. Food safely locked in the storage lockers, they didn't bother us the rest of the night.
