Our vacation at the cabin

Mike and I decided to spend a week at the cabin for our vacation. On our first day, Friday, May 28th, we witnessed several box turtle making there way from the river to a sandy slope behind our cabin. Their mission was to lay eggs and return to the river. When we awoke the next morning we observed 2 snapping turtles doing the same thing. The video below is of one of the snappers as she made her way back to the cool Menominee River. It was amazing to witness.




In addition to the amazing snapping turtles we observed several box turtles making the same trek to and from the river to lay eggs.
