Unfortunately this time the horses snuck up behind me as I was cooking dinner on the fire.
Keeping my goods secure & out of their reach has always been paramount for me but this time there was nothing I could do.
I walked from the table to the fire & I hadn't even bent down to put my pot on when I heard a horse behind me.
Within seconds there were several of his buddies & I had to keep away until they had finished rummaging through all my stuff. It was a bit scary but I can't be upset. It's their home after all. I just hope nothing they took/ate made any of them sick.
I'm not sure if we've just been lucky in the past while cooking after dark but I've always had a friend or two with me. This time I was camping alone.
If you have any other tips to avoid this in the future, please let me know. Finding a balance between enjoying food after a long day & not having the horses raid my campsite is ideal. Learning how to avoid that situation or deter the horses at night would be greatly appreciated!
Other than only cooking during the day of course:)
We love the undeveloped beach and surf. I saw a school of dolphins one morning. We enjoyed the bay as well, since the mosquitoes were largely absent. We are eager to return!
