Karen Sewell reported four crawls. Three false crawls into the rocks at the steps from the Beach Club and one good one that yielded nest #67 with 102 eggs. Jen Gibson probed and probed and probed some more. Then Karen & Jen dug and dug then used the shovel to remove sand and then probed again and Jen finally found the sweet spot. The nest was moved further up the beach and higher. The bugs were of no help at all!
