Skunks!

After getting the tent and camp all set-up and organized, we sat down for a relaxing evening under the stars. About 7:30, PsGuru heard something. UhOh! The flashlight revealed a skunk in our camp! We of course did not know that Garner SP is well known for abundance of skunks that abide there. We immediately ran for the tent just in case one decided to get closer. We watched from the safety of the tent as the little black and white creature took his time foraging around our camp. We of course had everything in containers, and no garbage of any kind was around for him to take advantage of. Every night, about 7:30 one or two would venture into the camp in search of something to eat. One night we sat outside to watch them and one got close enough to sniff my foot!! Thankfully, I did not panic or scare him and he just wandered away when the flashlight gave away his position. The next time we camp at Garner, we will probably camp in the "new" camp area where there aren't any visitors at night.
