And so it happened at 835 AM today.

Six orange suit clad men following the direction of one green suit clad man armed with a gun, radio and porta potty trailer ventured into our trusty pond, wading deep, deep, deep, deep deep thigh high water, reached out with a grapple arm and docked with the tilted Lido deck of our beloved turtles.

upon exiting the treacherous waters, after a valiant struggle, filled with rescue lights, safety boats and lots of twisted rope, two of the orange suit clad men mightily hoisted the Lido deck into their armored carrier, not the porta potty, for safe passage to the larger pond in the sky.

We will miss our Lido deck, happy hours, and midnight buffet. we shall band together and meet in secrecy to hatch a new plan that shall save our turtles from the predators that lurk deep, deep, deep, deep deep thigh high water beneath the surface of our trusted pond.

a moment of silence please.

Long Live the Turtles!

Feel free to bring it over here to the pond in Natoma Station!

Did they really remove it? If so, I feel sorry for the girl scouts. The thing is, they could have built one that was more natural looking...you can go to any pond supply place and they would show you all the good materials to do something like this. And while I didn't consider it to be an eyesore, per se...turtles don't need it When they want to bask, they will crawl up into the reeds or on the shore. I am not saying they wouldn't have liked it or used it, but it's really not necessary to help them like that....turtles WILL find a way!!!

yes, sadly so, the Lido deck is no more.

those men in orange suits are very efficient and good waders too. i guess you'd be like that too if you had a green suited man on you with a gun, radio and porta potty trailer.

The fact that they were in orange suits might... MIGHT be a good indication not to eat the fish.

The chain your pulling must be thick.

The chain your pulling must be thick.

the prison workers wear orange suits as they clear brush, debris and other assorted landscaping duties in and around Folsom.

the green suited man is their daily warden ensuring his platoon does a fine job and don't run away.

no chains being pulled. they are not a chain gang. that's still done in Texas though.

there is a porta potty trailer attached to the units bus which is nice, they don't pollute the area and are eco friendly.

What you're saying, basically, is that some criminals came and took the platform!

Maybe it was a disgruntled resident who hired illegal residents to dress up in orange outfits and then go get the stinkin thing..

I don't know--last I heard the prison don't do clean ups like that except at state properties and freeways.

Seems all a little off--if you ask me.

minimum security people wear orange jumpsuits and clear brush in Folsom. It's reality.

their boss wears green and he has DoC patches on his shirt. He's armed in case someone gets outta hand.

They came to the pond this AM and cleared the deck from the pond.

Now what part needs further splainin?

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here on this thread, which is the way we all wants it... well, we gets it. I don't like it any more than you posters.

A little too convienent after hearing all the griping about a girl scout troop helping a (herd,flock,pack ?) of turtles.

Seems like a great excuse to send out the suits after girl scouts. Makes me wonder--Is all I'm saying--slayer of girl scout activist dreams.

Sounds like one of the prison crews...I say "Let them eat fish!" Might be the only good meal they even got today Seriously, I think the turtles might be better off if left to their own devices...get a bunch of 'em up on a platform like that, all out in the open, and the hawks will be picking them off probably. If they eat turtle. I am sure the hawks and such could find better meals and all...but a platform out there seems like it might become a big serving platter...an "all you can eat" buffet for amphibian lovers!
