In defense of the raccoons: I remember camping in my vanagon at a state park in FL, and a couple of raccoons came up to my westy. They were very amiable, and would give me that puppy dog look. When I would give them a little tidbit of food, they would take it with their little handlike forefeet, and eat it, just like a little human. Seemed quite intelligent. They kept me company for several days, and it was one of the more enjoyable experience of camping in Florida. Of course, I have never been overrun by raccoons either. Harald '90 westy Robert A.
