Madera Canyon Picnic Area

We reached the 1st stop of our trip and decided to take a hike. Up and around to the top of a large hill. It was getting dark so we were trying to get back to the camp. The last leg of the hike was thru a dry creekbed. Baylor was ahead of us offleash and Chico was behind me. All of a sudden, a javelina burst out of the brush, flushed out by Baylor.

This thing decided to charge us! Baylor didn't know what the hell was happening but Chico bowed up and started to chase the thing off! My Chicks! We crossed the creekbed and the pig stopped on his side. He was bristled up and kept bluff charging but didnt cross the creek again. Whew, too much excitement.
