I recently went camping in mountains that I hadn't camped in for 15-20 years or so, and I remember constantly dealing with yellowjackets and bees all sorts of other fauna. I think I saw one yellowjacket the entire trip, and we had food out like crazy.

Plus, whereas I was used to waking up to the sounds of birds and animals, our campsite was completely silent. There was one hawk in the distance all morning.

It was strange.
