^ Those are in the survival pack in my Jeep along with other medical stuff, a carton of Lucky Strikes, chocolate, nylons and a .45 pistol.
No mishaps, caught my limit of four trout and saw someone I hadn't seen since I moved from my ideal small mountain town 5 years ago. Grilled the trout at her place, had a nice reunion and as they said in the olden days, dot...dot...dot.
Turtle season started here in SC and I started my turtle patrol walk..6am I hit the beach and was able to catch the sun rising "out of the ocean".
A few sea shell hunters were out early and there were jellyfish scattered along the beach. The turtles follow the jellyfish as that is their food source.
It is the time when the female sea turtles come ashore to dig their nests in the sand dunes. They lay their eggs, cover the nest and head back to the ocean. They do it mainly at night and artificial lights can be a problem as the turtles like darker areas, so residents/businesses are asked to keep lighting at a minimum during the season.
Just finished covering my tomato and pepper plants as we are going to have a freeze tonight. Looks like we may set a record low for this day in May. The weather certainly has been keeping us on our toes so far this year. Makes me wonder what the summer is going to be like this year.

LOL...yeah..in full camo gear and sitting in a "turtle blind"
It's sea turtles. They come up on the beaches from April-November to lay their eggs in the sand.
All the coastal states have sea turtle patrols (volunteers) that walk the beaches looking for nests and report them to the state's Dept of Natural Resource. Sometimes the nests have to be moved and other times they are just marked. It's a volunteer effort by local residents.
In Florida though there was another goal...to get to the nests and have them moved before the poachers showed up because turtle eggs are considered a delicacy by some South American and Caribbean cultures living in south Florida.
