    So did you see that mo-ron drive into the water and try like heck to get out? I've seen that happen before but they left their truck parked for awhile and came back to find it stuck :lol

    The turtle patrol guy that pulled up with the tags and electronic equipment said he's been volunteering for 5 years and this is only the 2nd turtle he's seen and that it's the first one he's ever been able to assist with.
    lets hope he gets more opportunity in the future?
