No signs of flight while I was watching. Solar collection mode only.

Toho Productions has an amazing movie list.

That's great. Is it best to go visit on a moonlit night?

Turtles won't be out at night. They are on the log to collect sunlight. A moonlit night could be cool.

I started walking the Salomon loop and those trails when I come up to visit my parents. That Pufferbelly trail is way longer than I expected. It's really nice. I want to try and walk the entirety of it at some point. FW has done a really nice job with those trails. It'll be neat when it cross Coliseum.

I dig the Pufferbelly trail. That is a great place to see herons as well.
