What would one think about before stepping into someone else's territory ? Well the answer is obvious, would I have to pay for trespassing or would I get prosecuted ? But since our creation, we humans have always been doing so, without thinking about anything and are never too scared to do so.
I think we try to do the same when we go camping too. But yeah like some of you, I do have contradicting thoughts about that :) . We do go to the wilderness, that is someone else's territory but
at the same time we keep some safe distance. There are rules that we are supposed to follow and that applies to backpackers too. We know that there are animals there and they might get upset if we don't follow the rules.
Our 16 day #AwesomeRoadTrip included about 12 days of camping at some beautiful yet wild locations in some great national parks of Oregon and Washington. I will be writing more about that in my future posts but the point here is that as beautiful those places were, so wild was their wilderness. 95% of those places had bear sightings and 80% had cougars around and 100% had other animals like deers, elks, raccoons etc.
As scared some of us might be to encounter some of these animals, so would be wishful to get a glimpse of them. The same applied to us, so what would we do to see some of them ? Well nothing, just wish for it :). Don't break the rules as that might mean a mishap. That is very important especially with kids. So if you are lucky you might just get to see some of them. And we were lucky enough to sight a few. No no... Don't get those wild thoughts running on your minds ;) . No bears or cougars but just Elks, Deers, Chipmunks and a bunny too thats it :) .
As we know that deers are very common to sight here but luckily a Bull Elk wandered to our campsite early one morning while grazing. And I didn't leave the chance to get a few pictures of it.
Then the next morning there was a mother deer with her fawns at our campsite and amazingly the same evening we sighted more deers high on top of the mountain while we went sightseeing.
And you wouldn't believe we had a deer wander to our tent site just the next night. So it was a hat trick.
So to wrap it up, I would like to say that we humans are a part of nature so being close to nature wouldn't hurt until we follow the rules. Enjoy the wilderness but give the animals some space. Don't step into their space and they wouldn't step into yours.
Hope you enjoyed and I will come up with more of our exciting experience soon.
