You fellers inspired me to do my good deed this week. Stopped and moved old boy to the other side of the road. Nice wetland area in that ditch, so he should have had a good day.

I could have moved one yesterday, but it was in a terrible spot to stop. Didn't see a body there when I came through today, so he must have been alright without me!

Saw a pretty good sized snapping turtle the other day traveling down a highway... He was upside down and lacking of life...
