Camping with Raccoons

The noise was light but the scratching continued.  Brad grabbed the flashlight and spotted a raccoon hovering over the grill.  I decided standing on the picnic table might be helpful until the my husband Scott laughed.  He said the racoons can climb.  Are they harmless?  Oh, they don't bite they  just scratch you to death my daughter Kari teased.  That's it.  Its bedtime.  I locked the camper door.  I discovered my husband shutting the top window saying they could come through the window.  Your kidding?  They all laughed.  Nagi Wowiha Win you would never have survived the 1800's.  The Camden State park is located just south of Marshall, Minnesota.  It has canoe rentals and hiking paths and will be home to the Camden Classics on August 26th.  On the weekends they host various programs.  This past weekend was a program on Astronomy.  My family will spend one more night in the camper before adventuring to another campground.
