No guarantees there either. Last summer I was canoe camping in the Round Lake Wilderness in the Adirondacks. The first few days were nice, then we saw two canoes approaching. It appeared to be a mom, dad and 3 kids who appeared range from about 8 to about 14 yo. They grabbed one of the designated sites just across the cove from us. We figured it's a family, no big deal. But apparently dad thought it was funny to howl like a wolf. Not once or twice, but every couple of minuts all freakin' night long. He finally shut up about midnight when he apparently went to sleep.The next morning I'm out on the lake at sunrise fishing and it is quiet and the water is as smooth as glass. I see dad get in his canoe and paddle to a spot about 100 yards from me and start fishing, Good, he's finally quieted down.One big reason for me going from car camping to backpacking and primitive kayak camping is to get away from crowded campgrounds.
Until he sees his family stirring in their campsite, again with the wolf howls. He paddles back and howls throughout breakfast. Finally about 10 am we see them loading the canoes. Thankfully it was only one night we had to deal with it. We gave each other high fives as they paddled away. We could still hear dad howling periodically as disappeared into the distance.
