I'm not sure who should post this, but I'd like some form of reminder sent around to all lake people because today a large and beautiful (pregnant) box turtle was smushed by a car in front of my driveway because someone was not paying attention.  The eggs were rolling down the road and it was really sad. I'm hoping that some of them can hatch anyway, but I doubt it.
Just because the houses are more sparse around the ends of Lake Trail East and West, it does not mean that people should speed up. There's the playground (often with kids), the lagoon (also often with kids near it) AND the animals  (especially the turtles crossing).  
Folks have just got to slow down and look at the road.  A cracked in half turtle with its unhatched eggs is a very sad sight.
