A “Snap” Of Northwestern Ontario History

An ancient marvel on the shore of Eagle Lake. Photo ‘snapped’ by Heather Friesen on Sunday July 6th.

Heather said,

“Saw this old guy while I was kayaking on Eagle Lake. He was doing some deep rock sitting in the sun! He’s by far the largest snapping turtle I’ve ever seen! I wonder how old he would be? How many winters he has survived!”

If he could only talk to give us the answers to so many questions!

  • Born in Cochenour a “few” decades ago, he lives and breathes Sunset Country. He's been on-air for CKDR and you for over 38 years and by his own admission he's still trying to get it right! When not on-air Richard likes to cosplay as 'Spider-Dad McCarthy'. Listen weekday mornings from 6 to 10 on CKDR and on 'the web' at YourSunsetCountry.ca.
