Caesar Creek State Park
September 1, 2006
Arrived at the campground Friday evening. As we pulled in, a woman and 2 children came up to our car and asked if we would mind switching our campsite with them. They had 2 sites, but we were in between, so we said yes and this allowed them to camp next to each other.
We put the tent up, started a fire and cooked some hot dogs for dinner. It had rained earlier in the day and it was a little chilly, but being next to the fire making s'mores was a pleasant evening.
We went to sleep around 11pm. About 4am, Emilia heard some noises outside the tent and woke me up, I unzipped the cover to the window and saw a skunk trying to get into the trash bag. I shined the flashlight on him, but he didn't even move, he wanted whatever was in the bag. We decided to ignore him and went back to sleep. Lesson learned: throw away all trash before going to sleep. We talked to our neighbors the next morning and they had a raccoon that got into a bag of peanuts during the night. Welcome to camping!
