Tricia and I took my last day of spring break to do the Diablo Loop, plus a bit of wandering around the edges of Walnut Creek. I'd heard there were turkeys on Mt, Diablo (insert your own joke here) but I'd never seen any myself. Then, just a few miles past the Northgate entry there they were, doing their full on turkey thing with the feathers and all, right by the road. It was a weather-perfect day, and the mountain was beautiful. Only one driver tried to kill Tricia, and he missed. So all in all, just another grand day in California.
Great picture! Last week, I caught up to a biker standing at the side of the road, looking off into the underbrush. He said a big female turkey had crossed right in front of him. I got there too late to see it, but I'll be on the lookout when I ride that route again.
