As we were driving along Playalinda Beach road in the Canaveral National Seashore, the Marine spotted this gopher tortoise crossing the road and got out to help it on its way. Fortunately there were no other vehicles coming along while we were there so we were able to safely help tortoise get to where it was going.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
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."
