Another unexpected visitor at an MPSCS compound. A snapping turtle stopped by our Cedar Springs tower, proving once again that you never quite know what you will encounter while working at an MPSCS site.

The MPSCS tower in Escanaba has some curious frequent visitors! Leave the gate open, and these friendly neighbors may decide to investigate. Apparently, a quick stop at the tower is too interesting to pass up.

Can you spot the nighttime visitor to the MPSCS tower? Looks like this porcupine was looking to reach new heights. We’re not sure if it was checking the view or just taking the scenic route home.
