During a hike at Robert Moses State Park - right on the Canadian border - we startled a raccoon while walking through the woods. It shimmied up a tree and stared at us for as long as we were within view. It was Carter's first time seeing a raccoon in the wild, and she thought he was pretty cute. The trail was super-muddy, unfortunately. But there was no one else there. The trail ran right along the St. Laurence River, and right across the river was Canada. Of course, it didn't look any different than our side of the river. I think Carter expected it to look obviously different.
