We had spent several months in the Southwest on our grand "A Year On The Road" RV tour keeping an eye out for an animal that was supposed to be common to wide stretches of the US. The Javelina was "everywhere," we were told. But had we seen one in almost two months in Arizona and New Mexico? Not a chance. As we reached Texas, the chances of seeing them should have gone up, but, four weeks later, there was still no sign of this free-roaming creature, otherwise known as the peccary, so we decided to dub it a myth, a fantasy created by state tourist offices to lure unsuspecting visitors. But then we visited Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission in Southwest Texas (just west of our RV park in Donna), and our whole perception changed. Not one, but a whole family group of 11 javelinas, grazing across our path and totally unconcerned at our presence. At last! The mythical creature had been found (by us!).
