Dana and Nancy's Most Excellent Adventures - Part 1 WILD TURKEYS

Last Wednesday Dana and Nancy had agreed to do some "scouting" for the August bike trip.  Dana wanted to stop and see her brothers in McMinnville and Sheridan before heading down to the Oregon Coast.  Nancy decided to get in a quick 15 mile bike ride before Dana arrived.  The ride was uneventful except with an encounter with a wild turkey.  While riding down the road Nancy saw the wild turkey in the field next to her; as she rode by the turkey suddenly took off and flew right in front of her almost knocking her off of her bike.  When Nancy got home Dana had arrived and Nancy told Dana and Steve about her strange encounter (chasing dogs all cyclists are accustomed to, but wild turkeys!?!); Steve said he didn't even think there were wild turkeys in Oregon; Dana said "Oh, yes there are!".   Dana had never seen wild turkeys before that day but when she was at her brother's he pointed out a flock on his property.  These encounters must have been an omen because throughout the next 3 days everywhere Dana and Nancy went they kept seeing wild turkeys.  It must be the season.....!
