Found this guy(?) in the middle of my road. Of course, I was on my way to some
place else, but could not pass up the chance to get a (bad) picture of this
prehistoric-looking beast. I am assuming it had very recently dug itself out of
its hibernation den, given the wet mud piled on top of the shell. I had a heck
of a time getting him(?) to the side of the road. Fearing the jaws of this beast,
I used the proverbial "10 foot pole," to scoot it to the side. It did NOT want to
leave the road. I should have chosen a stronger stick because it broke twice.
