DB Post Wednesday 4/29/2009

It was Day #9 in the Kermit Quest Saga. Though the day ended without a capture, it was oh, so close.
I was on the road at 0530, and found Kermit logging at Kalaeloa Campgrounds, at a place I call "Als' Bench", at 0712. Though the day he would range from mid campgrounds and move to the east to White Plains on two separate occasions. On the first move to WP I saw that Irma had hauled out down in front of cottage #1708, and I was hoping that Kermit would respond, but alas, he didn't go that far, turning and going back to the campgrounds. In the afternoon he move to White Plains again, and this time ,at 1254, he briefly hauled out to join Irma, though it was only seconds. I got the troops rolling since it appeared to be our best shot, and though the mob spent the afternoon there, and made an ill fated attempt at capture well away from Irma, it was close , but no cigar. He gave them the slip at the last possible second. Tomorrow ???????????

Poor baby! Maybe he's scared to haul out in his sickly condition because it makes him weaker and even easier prey than he would normally be??

Hopefully, weariness will get the best of him and he'll haul up and have to trust you guys out of sheer exhaustion. I SO hope you got him today. If not, hang in there everybody!
