The Raccoon Returns

So before our encounter on the Oregon Coast, I had never before seen a raccoon in the wild. Never. Well after the brave one in Cannon Beach, they seem to be following us everywhere! While we were at Keeley's brother Tally's house for Keeley and cousin John's birthday, we were all sitting on the lawn minding our own business, when a raccoon comes trotting down the hill towards us. Once we saw it and Vicki, Tally's wife, talked to it, it turned around and walked back up their hill. We then heard their cat hiss at it and we all went to follow it. It climbed up the gate to the fence like we would climb a rock wall, and stared at us for awhile before disappearing over the fence.

Then, either that day or within a couple of days, we were driving home in the evening, and while going up Keeley's street, we saw a whole family of raccoons crossing the road!! What is this?! Apparently they are either out in force this year, or they are just following Devin & I around the country.
