Knowing that April 1 was the key date from last year, I had to risk all and venture to the Celery Farm again this April 1, hoping to see the Turducken.

 

When I pulled into the main parking lot and saw no cars I thought I would be safe. However I spotted a posting on the main board that I never saw before. I looked at it through my binoculars and the little hairs on the back of my neck stood up: It was a wanted poster with my picture on it.

 

My transgression:  I was accused of trespassing on April 1 when the Celery Farm was closed. I was banished from the site and subject to imprisonment. I had a sense of what John Fell must have felt.

 

So not wanting to be seen at the main entrance I left and went to Green Way. I was pleased to see no postings.  I stealthily made my way along the back path away from the main road and along the opposite side of the pond.

 

I made my way to the Warden's Watch and positioned my self hidden under it, away from any searching warden eyes. After a short time, I  heard a faint sound that grew louder from across the way -- "gobble, quack, cluck, gobble, quack, cluck."

 

I looked and spotted the Turducken and quickly was able to capture a photo as it quickly disappeared. Not wanting to press my luck, I quickly vacated the site along the path I came in.

 

When I got home I checked my one lucky photo of the Turducken (below).

 

I was amazed at how much it resembled the sketch that had been made. It certainly was worth the risk of going there again on April 1.
