Miles and miles!

Each year we put a lot of wear and tear on our ATVs. Every night during leatherback season, we drive up and down a 12 mile stretch of beach in search of nesting turtles. On average, we make 3 round trips each night. Our survey methods have changed a bit and we've accumulated more beach in our survey area but our best guess is that we've driven well over 40,000 miles in the past nine years on our ATVs! That's a whole lot of miles in the cold, rain, wind, heat and bugs in search of nesting leatherback turtles!
