I hate these little buggers. They chewed a hole in my pack over there at Half Dome. I realize they are just trying to survive but when you have to lock everything including toothpaste in a safe it gets annoying.

I think they should issue airsoft guns to all visitors. This would be similar to the rangers who use beanbags or rubber bullets on bears. Teach them to fear us and they will at least not sit on the edge of my cereal bowl while I am eating dinner.

LOL! They could rent BB guns to tourons. I sure would rent one. That would be a lot of fun.

But they always look so cute in the photos!

This photo always makes me think of the racoons that live under the deck in the valley at that pizza place. Anyone else had the experience of 100 racoons all coming up at one after dark to eat the pizza refuse? We were having some beers with a couple of british pilots and they had never seen racoons before. What a sight.
