On Tuesday, 17th September, we went for a drive around Daviess and Martin Counties. We took recycling to the Daviess County Landfill site and then headed up the Montgomery Road, through Amish-country, towards Odon.
We came across an endangered eastern box turtle sunning itself as we drove along the country road. We moved it (always in the same direction that it was heading) safely off the road and continued on our way.
We visited a number of shops in Odon and then drove down US Highway 231 and stopped at Stoll's Lakeview, on the banks of West Boggs Lake, where Mom browsed at the gift shop. We went through Loogootee and then headed back towards Washington and lunch. It was another busy morning!

Eastern box turtles have a hinge and can close their plastron (lower shell) to completely shut themselves safely in their shell.
