Late Night Day 6 at Sunset Bay Campground, OR

Violated at Sunset Bay

Just a quick blog regarding our "experience" late night on Day 6... we found this campground just SW of Coos Bay, Oregon... the Sunset Bay Campground... nice place with non-toll shower facilities... we roasted our weenies and our s'mores for supper and then settled in for a nice long winter-like night... about 5 minutes after we were settled we heard something just outside our tent taking the top off our cooler.. almost like another human... we jumped up and started to open all the tent zippers to see who the culprit was... I finally got the flashlight to the screen part of the front tent door... there were two racoon shadows- one on his hind legs and digging in our cooler and the other on the ground under the picnic table must have been the lookout! We made hissing noises at them.. well I did at least... Mike just kept laughing... we finally get the stupid tent open and he goes out to the cooler to discover the masked robbers had stolen our remaining hotdogs! Of course, I was all worked up at this point and sleep was the last thing I could think about... all I know is that they had to be watching us to know a) the hotdogs were in the cooler and b) that we were gone to bed and the coast was clear... yes, we were violated at Sunset Bay by racoons...
