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

yeah my cousin told me about how bad that sea weed was! He just boogieboarded! That poor turtle!!!

Erik, the turtle didn't get run over, but you can see how they blend in with the sand it's very dangerous if you're not paying attention. We watched that turtle lay about 100 eggs and then helped take measurements, tagged it with electronic and mechanical tags, and let it go. It was pretty neat. The turtle patrol will dig up the nest and incubate the eggs and release them after they hatch.

man that sounds awesome!!!!! I would love to be able to do some stuff like that!!!! Too bad I was such a poor student in school!

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?
