Fort Stockton – August 15

On our way out of Brantley Lake State Park, we rescued a turtle. At first we thought he was just another squished rabbit on the road, but by the time we realized what it was, it was too late to hit the brakes. We managed to straddle him with both the motorhome and the towed car. We pulled over to the side of the road, and I picked him up and placed him safely in the brush on the other side.

Mike says he is a box turtle. Looking online, briefly, I think he is an ornate box turtle.

 

After getting settled at the RV park at Fort Stockton, we took the car into town. Not much to the town. There is an auto tour you can take, but there’s not much to it.
