Wiley

One hazard of setting up a homestead in the middle of nowhere.... critters.

And, boy were there critters, though the one that concerned us the most was Wiley - the coyote next door.  Here's his burrow:

10 feet from the front door of the pyramid.

Fresh scat too big to be a fox, definitely canine, not a house-dog.  We never saw him, but we heard a bunch of coyotes making all sorts of racket in the early morning hours just before sunrise all three days.

With the fire and all the people smells it's likely that he snuck out on us at some point and it's doubtful he'll be back.

Lovely.

A pissing contest ensued.

We won.
