Notes
Spotted on road on way to visit my grandmother. Three others were spotted on roads in the local area and not vouchered on various days throughout the week, but the 6 seen on this day doubled the first four days combined. FWIW, the temperature reached the high 90s, though it wasn't even close to that at 8am. Head color was extremely variable among the different turtles.
