North & Hobcaw nests! 2 Middle false crawls

North: Judy had a beautiful crawl at #15mm at Prince George. It was a nest and laid in a great location on the slant of the dune. Good job Judy!

DEB32 Natural  at #15mm 

Middle: Carolyn had 2 false crawls and one of the turtles had not been gone long. She thinks maybe the movement of early tent erectors may have been the issue.

DEBFC35  north WW#10   U turn

Hobcaw: Brandie and Ryan found a long, loopy crawl near #13mm where the turtle scaled a dune to nest. Brandie proved she still ‘has it’ and located the chamber on the first probe,…yay!
