North: Judie E. found activity north #8mm where the turtle must have crawled over her body pit as she exited. She probed, located a soft spot in shelly sand and found eggs…way to go Judie!

Hobcaw: Wendy and Duane were immediately greeted with 2 crawls in Ocean Green! They headed on to the inlet but found no other activity. Returning, Duane easily located his first nest…yay Duane!

The next crawl proved to be tough and Duane got good experience. The turtle scaled the tall, pushed up dune and there was a long area of fluffy sand indicating covering of a nest. After many probes and holes dug, Duane found the egg chamber close to the end of the incoming crawl…good job!
