Ok, Dr, & GK,
Seems the skunks are getting worse in towns. Easy food I guess.

GK, years ago I used to backpack in the N.C & Va. mountains. I always had my dog with me.
One warm night, tent flaps open, dogimus tromps in, sticks her freshly sprayed snout right into my face.
Whoa! Trip over. Hike out, spend days cleaning the tent, (a Sierra Designs) to no avail.
The tent was a write off, at about $300 1976 dollars.

She was a damned good dog, though. More than made up for that faux pas over the years.
