My Best Shot

Christine Walker Gordon was newly arrived from New Zealand when she decided to explore her new country. And what could be more American than turkeys? She found these on a farm after taking a wrong turn en route from Salt Lake City to Arches National Park. “When I saw the turkeys, I just had to stop,” she recalled.
