While in the remote area of "Caprock Canyon State Park" my husband BOB & I had just pulled in our RV spot for a week & decided to cook some pork chops on a charcoal campfire before we turned in.
I gathered up a tablecloth & potato salad, beans I made before we left home to bring to the outdoor table. As soon as the pork steaks went on the grill the smell attracted a family of 6 skunks of all sizes. They came out of the desert shrubs from all directions.
I could see through my panic they had done this before to campers because they were almost polite. They gathered around but not too close & kind of wandered around like cats would do. Meanwhile,
I told my husband when it was time to eat I was in no way going to eat at that picnic table. As soon as the meat was done & he uncovered the grill, the smell was all it took for them to come in a little closer. I got a plate & filled it with my salad, beans & pork chop & told Bob I will see you later. He said; " Where are you going?" I said I am going to sit on the 5th wheel steps & eat so I can run inside if they show up under the picnic table which was about 50 ft. away from the RV. So he sat down at the table to eat facing me but the skunks would not get near him. They kept their distance.
