TrailSafe Nevada

Raccoon: My Favorite Animal
Here a raccoon rests in comfort after liberating herself from a carrier in the back seat and making her way to a cozy spot on the front seat floor as we drive to the mountains. Recently I read a blog post which referred to raccoons as "trash pandas". This was meant in...
