Day 46: 10/21/06

This tiny turtle nest graced the shore of our campsite. This nest was likely discovered by a prowling predator, because the eggshells are visible. When the baby turtles crawl from their birthplace, the sand is usually minimally disturbed. Let's look at the brightside though, at least a raccoon or coyote was able to feed the family!
We have seen a lot of ridiculous, illegally-dumped garbage on the river but this one takes the cake. We have this qestion for you, Columbus Road Baptist Church, Quincy, Illinois: WWJPHB? (Where Would Jesus Park His Bus?) Probably not on the banks of the Mississippi! For shame!
