As last night may have been our last camping night we decided that it might be our last night to spot a racoon (one of only two animals left on our list). But it was late when we made camp and we decided we needed to focus on using up our firewood and getting to bed early. Lucky for us the racoons came to us instead of us going out to search. In fact we almost couldn't sleep because they were so close to the tent door and getting in to occaisional disagreements with each other.
When we were in the 10,000 Islands they mentioned that the racoons here are only 4-5 pounds. That is pretty small compared to the 20-25 pound mainland coons. These were definitely mainland. We had at least three: two jumbo and one monster.

I don't think I've ever seen a raccoon that big. I think I did hear a raccoon eat a cat once, though!
