Are
first week of road trip vacation is already over, for the last few
day we have been camping at Kouchibouguak a lovely camp-site. At
first Kouchibouguak was perfect, it had everything, beach,
playground, hikes you name it. But we soon discovered a problem,
raccoons!!
It all started in are tent when reading at night, my mom
heard a sound coming from are trash can, we all froze (except my dad
that was sleeping) because we all knew it was a animal. My mom did
not now what to do, she was scared but luckily I had ideas, I
suggested to open the tent and flash a light on the trash can. It was
the only idea so I did it,we did not have a very powerful light so I couldn't see quite well, the first thing I said to my mom was:
”hey, there are two fireflies”. In the end I realized the
“fireflies” were glowing raccoon eyes!!! We were quite surprised.
The next night something similar happened. We had been reading in bed
for a while when I had to go to the bathroom and at the same moment
my mom realized that she forgot to take out the trash. So we went
together to the garbage bin on the way to the bathroom. As we
approached the garbage bin my mom saw something moving. I did not see this movement so I didn't completely
believe what she was saying so I contented myself to repeatedly ask her if she was sure. In the end we did not drop the
garbage in that bin because my mom was certain that there was
something in it, and for good reason because when I came out of the
washroom I saw a big puffy tail and two “fireflies” coming out of
the garbage bin!!! In the end my mom and I took the path with the
most lights to get back to are the camp-site.

Hey Clara! Have you been up on the mountain in the evening lately? There are soooooooo many raccoons... Chloé bumped into at least two of them and she says they are very soft! Some of them are so used to humans that people were petting them (even though they are not supposed to).
