A single turtle crossing the cycle track & pedestrian footpath that runs around the lake.
The Turtle was heading back to the lack, a young lady came along, & picked it up & carried back to the waters edge, after posing with 2 other Geocachers.

I have no idea what type of turtle it is, & would be happy to take advice, if anyone knows.

My guess is an American Common Snapping Turtle, & not a Ninja Turtle.

By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
