Porkchop reunited with his mom

A wonderful day unfolded and Winky and Kadizzle decided to ride our ebikes up by Peter Bigfoot's compound.  After a truck ride about five miles up Campaign Creek we parked the truck and mounted the bikes.  In the spectacular mountain valley we peddled about two miles up to Bigfoot's nirvana in the valley.  Last year Peter said he would like to see Kadizzle's ebike.  We found Peter working in his garden.  As usual he has a couple of interns on the property helping him.  The garden was the garden of Eden.  After many years of hauling cow manure he has created a vegetable paradice.  As Winky pointed out what she wanted from the garden Kadizzle slowly pedaled down the trail. On the trail was the dark haired bearded tall skinny guy from Texan who was living with Peter for the winter.  Engaging in conversation the young Texan told Kadizzle about Pork Chop.  Pork Chop was a baby javalenia he adopted.  It seemed the javelina pack had gone through and somehow Pork Chop got left behind.  Tex got in the habit of sleeping with Pork Chop and briefly made a pet of him.  Then one day the pack of javelinas came back through. Tex said that since he had been sleeping with Pork Chop he must have smelled like a javelina.  Since he had the right odor the pack was not afraid to come to him. When the pack approached Pork Chop's mom recognized him and the family was reunited.  So now Pork Chop is in the wild again. 

Normally when we visit Peter Bigfoot there is usually just one large Turkey roaming about, but today there were thirteen in a cage.  Never thought of it before but usually we visit after Thanksgiving.  Peter explained the Turkey population was about to be hit by his version of Covid, an axe on the neck.  So back down the road we went where Kadizzl rode his bike up a canyon.
