The second problem was at Sundown NP and was mye fault. There was one hanging around and I threw it a peice of ham which it wolfed down. It then looked around for more, I didn't have my boots on and it saw my feet.
My bare feet.
My bare, pink feet.
My bare, pink, juicy feet.
Its amazing how fast a lacy can move when food is at stake.
Its also amazing how fast I can move when my feet are at stake.
I was able to put my boots on while holding the lacy at bay using a camera monopod. Once the boots were on he settled down and we were able to co exist quite happerly, in fact he hung around for a couple of hours and helped keep other campers away.
