Chipmunks are all about camp & climb the trees between the tents. They are very tame & some come to the hand for chocolate - their favorite food. Some of the young ones come into the cabin & on the piazza when we are at meals there. They fill their pouches with graham crackers & chocolate till it seems as if their skin would burst, & then are off to their holes. Before a storm they worked fast & furiously, storing dry leaves & food. One of the women said they were cutting off acorns near her tent & then carrying them to their holes.
