Julie DelCour: Turkey Mountain not out of the woods
Years later, my new home disproved that oxymoron. Tulsa actually has an urban wilderness. Turkey Mountain might not be an enchanted forest for everyone, but it is for my family and dogs, and thousands of other Tulsans. There’s a strange and wild trail mix up there on the mountain with its hikers, bikers, runners and nature enthusiasts. We once walked a hundred feet with a displaced rooster and two of his wives — chickens that had crossed the road to get to Turkey Mountain.
*note the distance from the proposed mall is a Quarter of a mile from the RiverParks property not a full mile as reported.
