Watch your step

11:40pm Friday

Funny thing happened on the way to a turtle radio survey -- my foot. The top step was weaker than I remembered and when I stepped on it, I went straight through the plank. Luckily the snake chaps dissipated most of the force. Only the right plank is broken but the left plank isn't far behind so I recommend that no one stand on the top plank. It's more than a little soft.

I'm not sure who to contact about the broken board, so hopefully someone reads this and passes the message along.

All turts were in their relative locations. Had some fun with #2 chasing down some ghosts in the rocks. A lot of weedlike plants have sprung up to the north of the pond's ridge (spiky bulbs, yellow flowers) and throughout OM near #5.
