Late night forays to watch sea turtles lay their eggs are drawing increasing crowds. One particular section of the CNN story drew my eye:

For a fee of $5 for adults and $2.50 children, visitors only get a chance to spot the finicky creatures during a three-hour tour that ends at midnight. There are no guarantees.

Marine curator Larry Wood says the odds of spotting a turtle are no better than having success during a night of fishing. But locals and tourists line up on sweltering summer nights for a spot on the tour.

Maybe they should start charging a little more instead of relying so much on queuing. Get a few more dollars for the turtles.
