Although we can't get down to the Cherokee National Forest, we thought Gurki would enjoy visiting the Nicolet National Forest - a wonderful northern Wisconsin forest where Mrs. CBIIJ's father worked for many years. Right now the fall colors are beautiful! We hope you'll enjoy the pics.

We always enjoy finding TB's from Germany, as Mr. CBIIJ's parents and Mrs. CBIIJ's grandparents emigrated to the U.S. from Germany. We'll help this turtle race along soon.

Danke!

I know Gurki is trying to get to Turtleville TN and this is only 13 miles south of were I retrieved him, but at least he is headed in the right direction now.
