Hitchhiking

We have a little pond where we like to go fishing.  It has trees, a bathroom, picnic tables, all the things necessary for an enjoyable day of fishing. It is stocked with blue gills and lake trout.  Alex likes to find snails and tries very hard to bring them home.
Sadly, the fishing pond is right next to the water treatment plant.  We don't often get the smell from the plant but we don't eat any fish we catch there either.  It's entirely catch and release.  Alex is actually turning into quite the fisherman. He generally catches more than Peter.
The last time we were there, the turtles were out in force.  I caught this small turtle catching a ride across the pond.
