Comments on: javelina junta http://tinysandwiches.com/?p=262 I make food and take pictures of it. Sometimes I have other people make food for me and I take pictures of that.

I managed to accidentally threaten them - they were between me and the cliff-face that forms the edge of the mesa. I hear a rustling, look up, and the largest javelina I have ever seen is charging me (I see them roaming the neighborhood streets in Prescott all the time). I took off running in a panic only to sprint into a barbed wire fence; flipped right over it. When I looked up a bunch of babies were running by. I managed to cut up my right leg but fortunately the fence was brand new - no rust. I'm sure it was not as bad as getting gored though. As I was getting up the rest of the pack was making their escape. These are magnificent creatures but don't be fooled, they are wild and dangerous. After this last encounter I have a new-found respect for them. I had a run-in with a pack of javelina yesterday afternoon while hiking just below the rim of White Mesa above Wet Beaver Creek.

I LOVE that you took photos of all the food - - I'm a foodie too and frequently take photos of the food I eat during my travels. Don't be too enamored with javalina; they can be tough. A friend had a run in with a pack of them - - it wasn't good. Thanks for the great pictures of the Silver City area.
