Clad in nothing but my boxers and armed with naught but a
tent pole I managed to save most of our food from a gang of raccoons and a stray
opossum. I heard rummaging around 3am
last night so I had the mental image of Dan going for a midnight snack as all
of our food was ratcheted shut. Then I
heard the growling. So I did the
sensible thing and scared the raccoons off.
The opossum sought to get in on the turf war with its rivals gone, but I
just shined my headlamp at it until it backed down. This was the second time I saved the day this week (first was me saving all of our gear from the rain). I’m on a roll!
That was probably one of the more exciting parts of the day, accompanied
by a close game between the US and Germany in the World Cup (we lost… but we’re
moving on!) and riding a battery dead
UTV down a hill on the highway. Life is good and despite the hardships we
endured this week I’m glad we powered through.
This week was all about problem solving so I even forgot we were
spraying at times. Hope all is going
well in your respective parts of the world.
Until next time!
