I decided to walk the mountain bike trail before riding on it. Thank goodness. If I was on the bike, I would have certainly run this tortoise over. It was only 4 inches long. No sign of momma turtle. I scooted it to the side with my foot.

Visit Instructions:
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."
