Everything is bigger in Texas....except the ferries

Post by kwbyron »

I had to make a run up to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge to pick up some turtle eggs last week, which required a "ferry" ride in Port Aranses...lol, ya'll would love it. Holds maybe 8 cars, the entire trip takes 5 minutes...but hey, it's free! I tried to find some photos for you, but none of them did it justice.

I'll get some photos...I was SO mad that I left my camera in my car (I was in a work vehicle) for that trip...I saw some wild boars, turkey, Roseate Spoonbill, white and blue herrines, armadillos, and some other critters. Oh, well, I'll go bach to the park again soon, I'm sure. I will be back up to Seattle at the end of July I think...I have to finish up some research. I will deffinately try to get some diving in though....going through a bit of a dry spell down here.

Sweet. You may want to change you location in your profile, and you most definately need a Sea trutle avatar.

HaZA! All is updated, the turtle I named PITA... it's an acronym for how she behaved while being worked up.
