On hot summer days, a turtle may wander into the center of a roadway, only to find that during their journey to the other side, the road surface has become too warm for them to continue. With no other options, they turtle-up and instantly become immobile. With no outside assistance, every oncoming vehicle, possibly for hours on end, will be an immediate threat to their wellbeing.To help give these turtles a hope for the future, several members of the community have banded together to form the Turtle Rescue Squad (TRS). This collection of athletically active individuals often find themselves sharing the roadway with turtles in need and have agreed to put the health and safety of the local turtle population ahead of their personal workout requirements.
My goal with this blog is to document our future turtle rescue operations as well as share some of my personal day-to-day activities in between.
