Patrolling for sea turtles!
Joined up with the SCDNR and cruised the beaches of Botany Bay WMA on ATV in search of nesting sea turtles--found two new nests and many false crawls.
John Rucker and his Turtledogs returned to the area today to help me search for the missing Mr. Bones. Although we searched for an entire day we did not locate the elusive turtle. Blame it on the cool weather or bad luck but the sly old Bones has eluded us again.
