The ranger said there was one of these in the area and though we didn't see it we sure as heck would have deserved it. Due to a bit of late night drinking and laziness we managed to leave out an entire pot of beans and a pot full of Guiness-boiled sausages sitting out as well as numerous snack foods.
In a way I am a bit disappointed by what all of that means. The fact that nothing bothered to go after the beans and brauts means that either we are good at scaring away animals or that there is nothing in the woods to get into our stuff. About the only animal life we encountered were ground squirrels, jays, the haunting call of an owl, some distant coyotes and a bunch of mice that seemed to want to get into everything, including one that drown in our dish pot over night.
The mice were almost comic relief as they invaded tents and even in one case chewing on somebody's shoe laces while she stood there oblivious. We even saw a few in the road. I figure the warm winter allowed a larger than normal number of them survive.
Anyhow, I'll post more about the trip when I have more pics.
Take care,
