Day fifteen was a LONG travel day from Asheboro, NC to Clarksboro, NJ – 460 miles. Most of the journey was along Interstate 95, and it was a bumpy ride. We got an early start and made it into the Timberlane Campground by 5:00 pm. This is a very nice place, with lots of beautiful trees and grass, a fishing pond, wild geese and ducks lounging around. Jim and Sam took a bike ride at dusk and saw wild turkeys on the edge of the campground.
Early the next morning when I was taking Buster for a walk, I almost tripped over a small turtle busy digging a hole in the mud to lay her eggs! Sam and I watched her for quite a while and she was digging away. About an hour later, I checked and she was gone, her hole all covered up and nearly invisible. Sam did some research and decided she was an Eastern Painted turtle.
