Flying Turkey
December 7, 2006
We made coffee and headed out. Will was watching vehicles enter a gated area; maybe going to work. Each one stopped, unlocked the gate, drove through, locked the gate and drove off. This went of the whole time we made our coffee. We turned off on route 39 and just before crossing the Guadeloupe River a flock of two dozen turkeys were walking a long the road, some on one side of the fence and others on the roadside. As we got closer they took off and FLEW. Yes, we saw them fly up and over the fence. Down the road we saw another flock of a few dozen. These turkeys are big and fat. The windy two lane roads through the hill country are not busy.
The scenery is just beautiful, but it is being taken over by big mansions with elaborate gates. Some are massive built of stone and windows of stained glass. The road follows the Guadeloupe River wiggling through valleys. We shopped at the Wal-Mart in Kerrville; did some Internet. We ended up in Hondo because it was going to be in the twenties further north. We came into Wal-Mart and spent the night having a shrimp stir fry and watching My Dog Skip.
