Feeding the Raccoons
Toward the end of out ride, we stopped at an abandoned Indian village. We were shown how an old village would have been set up and we were surprised by the visitors that came to check us out. There were about five raccoons that came out to see us (top) and to see if they could get anything to eat. Our guide has a few pieces of bread, which he fed to them. He then asked for a volunteer and I, excited at the prospect of touching a raccoon, volunteered. It was a fun experience which yielded memories and pictures (bottom) that will never be forgotten. It is definitely worth volunteering for something that fun.
Baby and Kojak
Feeding Kojak.
The things hanging around my neck are earplugs. Airboats can be very loud.
