Fun in Sequoia

Coyotes are like pine cones; all over the place. I had them in camp many times and they're very timid. Hard to be scared of them.

You were right to be more worried about the raccoons. People mostly follow the rules about bears but think it is cute to feed raccoons and they can be just as persistent about getting food once they think part of it is theirs.

Actually, all the times I've run into animals the only time I was scared was the youngest ever. Once, hiking in the Oregon lava flows we walked into a shallow cave. Inside was a mountain lion cub. No sign of mom and you can bet we didn't stick around very long to see if she'd show up.
