LOL.  Racoons are not very bad around here but we did see one a year or so ago
running down the middle of the road when we were trying to go camping.  The
damn thing was so big and fat we couldn't maneuver around it..lol.  We were
trying to get to camp before dusk and that stupid thing just ran down the
middle of the road...I am sure he knew we could not get around him while towing
the trailer.  That is the only racoon I have ever seen near us.  Usually skunks
are the nuisance in the desert zone and Deer, squirrels, chipmunks, cougars and
bears are the nuisance out in the woods.  Oh and rattlesnakes.  :::shudder::::
