9:00 AM Walk Sleeping Turtles Preserve North

This is a beautiful area with over 5 miles of wooded trails. We will walk a trail with views of the Myakka River and branches down to the river and a kayak landing.

Please arrive before 9:00 a.m. so that we can introduce ourselves . We will leave the meeting location at 9:00 a.m. (Meetup software provides a default meeting time of 7:00 p.m. and I have been unable to change it.)

Last year there was a porta-potty in the parking lot, so it probably is still there.

Driving east on Border Road, the entrance to the Preserve is on the left just before the bridge that goes over the Myakka River.

The address is 3462 Border Rd., Venice.

I will be with a black German Shepherd at the picnic table near the sign shown in the photo.

We will leave at 9:00 a.m. sharp. If you are late, walk into the Preserve a bit, take a turn to the right which heads you toward the river and then you bear left to go along the river.
