Mountain lions...once, when I slept in my tent I woke up to two mountain lions fighting right next to it. They were making sound like fighting cats but much louder. Got out of the tent not being sure what was it and saw them may be 20 feet away. Scared them off with noise and they run away.

Coyotes, they will crap to mark the territory. But they might not be sending a message to humans, they might be sending a message to other competitor animals because humans leave food smells behind and attract rodents. I definitely see coyote poop in campsites. One place I camped coyote literally took a big dump on the edge of the campsite while I was in it and I heard it howling. I howl at coyotes sometimes but so far couldn't get them to respond.

One night camping in canoe country, my dog I had then woke me up with some low growling. I just said to not worry about it and we went back to sleep. Got up to a bear turd not to far from the tent. That dog loved seeing animals… just not in camp… she got me up on a full moon night and we went out sitting on a rock ledge watched a big bull moose walk under us in the fullmoon light. She did chase a twelve point buck from by our tent once…

Santa sent his elf army to my groups campsite yesterday afternoon. I was off on errands in town so I never got to see them. But when it got dark the evidence of their visit was clearly visible! They strung up hundreds of little multicolored Christmas lights over in the area where the group campfire ring is located! I have a terrific view of the lights out my trailer window! They must be on a magical timer set just for me. When I began lowering my window blind to get ready to go to sleep those strings of lights suddenly went dark.

Speaking of elves, I myself am one of Santa’s crew working in my remote workshop. I have orders that just came in to get cut and shipped out today. But it is too cold this morning for those tasks so I had better get out of bed and fire up my heater to warm up my space, the materials and my hands.
Photo is a village I designed and built for the tiniest of Santa’s Elves. Those elves build the micro sized circuits that go into toys. So persons mistake those elves as being fairies but they are not.
