Just got back from the beach this morning, and we had 4 new turtle nests layed during the night with 3 trails in the sand showing that the mom turtles decided to turn around and try some where else on the beach maybe tonight. We had a post a week ago or so about fresh water turtles laying their eggs hgher up on the levys down near Lake Okeechobee, and with that in mind, we had one turtle crawl all the way to the newly restored dune line which a pretty good distance and then when she got their according to her trail , she crawled up an almost 45 degree grade of the new dune and crawled up on sand on someones property and layed her eggs up there. Every body that lives there and goes to the beach have never seen a turtle crawl that far up to lay. I have pictures of the crawl and will try to post them when I figure how to do it......It makes me wonder, do they know something that we don`t ?.......I`m betting on the turtle.......Weatherchef
