More evidence that shows Oregon is a great destination.

Looks like even turtles are willing to travel great lengths to see this place.

"A leatherback turtle has been tracked swimming from the coast of the Papua province in Indonesia to Oregon, researchers said, in what may be the longest trip for marine vertebrae between breeding and feeding sites.

The longest distance of nine turtles tagged was the leatherback that reached Oregon and then headed to Hawaii before the battery on the satellite transmitter gave out. The 12,774-mile journey took 647 days."
Gone west. Love, Isolde.
