Am I the only one that thinks that hugging is the last thing on this creature's mind?

For some reason, that little guy reminds me of the name of a very fun board game:

Raccoons... so adorable.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

(Yes, Mr. Wood Badge Scouter should have had the foodstuffs up in a bear bag. Hush, peanut gallery!)

...or at least put the cooler in the trunk. It wouldn't stop a determined bear, but it would've slowed the raccoon down. :lol:

Would have slowed us down too. The nearest trunk was about a third of a mile away. This was not car-camping; we packed our gear in-and-out from trailhead parking to the campsites.

The better to hug the trees...

8O You brought a cooler? That's some determined backpacking there. Boy Scouts are so weird. ;)

I love Huggermugger. My mom got it at some point, and I always loved playing it at her house when I visited, but the last time I was there, she no longer had it. I recently found a copy of it in a thift store, and I'm a happy camper.

Wish I could lend you my granddaughter MsMary. Found out yesterday that when you hug her and pat her on the back, she pats you back. :biggrin:

Awwww. :biggrin:


I'm very stressed out. But I won't have to deal with the people who are stressing me out EVER AGAIN. At least, not on a daily basis.
