Bonnie please be careful disclosing locations of wood turtles, we have had some problems in recent years with them being poached for the illicit pet trade. I busted a guy last year who was willing to buy wild caught wood turtles knowing that it was a violation of our natural resources laws and regulations. They are one of several sought after species by collectors and dealers. Nice photos of a nice find. Mike
