On the LOOSE
Trucker escaped a few days ago.
This is Trucker:
Maybe you don't recognize him with the glasses. He's a 50 pound African Spurred Tortoise, AKA "The Love of my Life". We put him outside while his room was being cleaned.
Now understand, everything we read suggested that spurred tortoises cannot swim - in fact, they have been known to drown in the bath.
So imagine our surprise when the day campers reported that Trucker was in the middle of the lake. Right. Not dipping his toes in, but full-out, Nessie-style escape from Alcatraz.
Nate and I had to go out in a canoe and tow him back to shore. He was not pleased. Nate and I may go into the business of Tortoise-rescuing, but only if we get married. Which we probably won't.
I'd just like to say, it's a grand and glorious day here at Storer Camps, where every day's a holiday, and every meal's a feast! Clear!
