Day 89 - April 6th - Last Resort RV Park - Rockport, TX

Nothing much to report, except that Vacation time is running out quickly. Only 3 more sleeps until time to hit the road northward. I did take the time to check the 10 day weather forecasts for our chosen route through the Mid-Western States. Appears we have a window with fair weather all the way. The only anomaly is a few showers around Wichita, Kansas about the 12th day of April, about the time we will be passing there. Good weather forecast all the way to the Canadian border. Not even frost at night.

The photo of the day today will be of Denice, "Saving the wildlife of America". Today was laundry day, so we went to Aransas Pass, where the best laundry is located. Completed the project and were headed home. Just on the outskirts of town, I had just got up to highway speed, when the co-pilot shouted, "STOP". Now never one to question the co-pilot, I slammed on the brakes and pulled to the right shoulder.

"Did you see that"? she queried.

"See what" I responded.

"That big turtle trying to cross the road".

"Never saw it"

"Back up"

I did for about a couple of hundred yards, along the shoulder while highway traffic zoomed by. I guess nobody else saw, or didn't care about one Mr Turtle. We pulled to a stop and "MS. Save the Animals" was out of the door, stopped all 4 lanes of traffic and rescued poor Mr Turtle. Now that may be what she calls "Enhancing" the story a little, but she did save the turtle from a sure fired "flattening" experience. She took him and placed him back in his own environment to a water filled ditch. I'm sure he was thankful and so were we. Today we did our duty of protecting our fragile environment.
