Wild boars/pigs by 395

North side of 98 just west of the 98/395 intersection - big one and a little one - very cute snuffling about!

Went back for a picture later, but they were gone.

Be careful if your on foot Scooterbug, they can be very aggressive and dangerous! I fear meeting one when I am hiking far more then I fear bears...

Yep. I was taught to climb a tree if charged by a wild boar.

No, I was in the Scootermobile - if I was on foot there would definitely have been pics!

Wild animal mother + young + scooterbug = hospital at best

I was thinking that if she was on foot, we indeed would have had some photos! I bet the view from the top of a tree would make for some amazing shots! ;-)

I was thinking the photos might come from a passerby- witnessing Scooterbug up in a tree with some mean pigs snorting down below!

EDIT: Scooterbug if I see you up in a tree, I promise to rescue you. I have a soft top on my car, I'll just pull up, scare 'em pigs off and you can jump onto a soft landing. 'Course I dont know what you look like other than your avatar, so if I see a sea turtle in a tree I'll know its you, and if you see a wooden chair driving a Saab its me!

Yes, gawd knows I have no common sense or idea of how to function in "nature". :roll: That scenario would probably only be true if we were drinking and you were giving me ideas.

Me in a tree would probably not seem that odd to anyone who knew me. I'd probably be grinning and yelling "take my picture with the pigs!". Of course, that would probably end up on Sowal w/ the caption "whose turn was it to watch her?".
Thank you for the offer, I will look for the wooden chair in a Saab during my next emergency.

A tree, car, or other safe vantage point is where I USUALLY view/photograph wildlife.
