Listening closely dozens of times I just couldn't get beyond my raccoon vs
fox perception. Today I played this recording for a number of people at an
NPS event and got an ID. Lo and behold, it could very well be a creature
that is a raccoon _and_ a fox, or at least a relative of both: Bassariscus
astutus, also called a ringtail cat.

Here's more on this foxy little Procyonidae:
