Stormy Weather
yet no significant rain. dammit.
The storm system that came through seems to have stimulated some of the turts. Turt1 is still under the same Eucalyptus tree, but has moved to the north side.
Turt3 is in the same place, but made herself a little peephole so that she can stick her head out.
Turt7 is in the same spot and turt4 is still hanging out in the reservoir with an adult male that I strongly suspect is the Beast. There is also still an unknown juvenile hanging out in there, as well.
The Res now looks like this and is only about knee deep at it's deepest point.
Over in outer mongolia, Turt2 has moved a few meters further up the swale and turt5 has moved a few meters further down the swale. I couldn't get GPS points because the gadget died on me mid-signal. All current locations are flagged, however.
Bugs.

I'm not sure if this has been considered but when the pond dries up, would it be possible to insert a metal rod at the deepest point with visible depth markings just to make assessing water depth quick and from distance?
Thats where you come in to play Steven. We call it the stevomete. Of course, we will supply air and regulators for when the pond fills back to the days of glory. Oh yeah, and sunscreen.
Seriously, that is a good idea. We will see what we can do.
