I finally found my pictures from my trip to Hayward last year. My sister, dad and I did some exploring and apparently we had great timing. All the turtles were starting to dig nests and the bears were everywhere enjoying the turtles' hard work.
This gal was in the road so my dad helped her out. She decided his feet looked to dry so she would help him out by watering them.
There she goes, on her way.
Big ol' snapper! He/she was very mellow.
First nest we saw. They were just digging them right on the side of the gravel roads.
Egg!
This was the lake across the road where she most likely lived. Perfect turtle pond!
Skinny bear missing out on the turtle egg extravaganza.
Some one got to this nest.
A snapper we "guided" across the road. She was NOT a happy camper but we didn't want her to be hit by a car.
GGGGGRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! I want to eat your fingers!!
Another beautiful sunset in the north woods to end a day of herpin'
