Turtle Crossing in Portland, New York - Turtle Crossings on Waymarking.com

While on my daily run I was on my way back toward home when I ran past this rather large snapping turtle sitting in the middle of the road ... I quickly ran home and grabbed my camera, a walking stick and my husband to take pictures and drove back to where this guy was waiting for me. We got a few pictures then I pushed it off the road and into the grass. It headed down the bank toward the stream.

The whole thing was rather humorous because at the start of my run, I ran out of my driveway and headed up the hill ... there was a rabbit running down the road ... then on the way back toward home - the turtle was there ... hmmm ... I wonder if they were in a race?

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."
