Heading North on Wisconsin Highway 63, my wife driving while I nodded in and out of sleep. Suddenly she says, "What's that in the road?" "It's a turtle," I shriek, "pull over!"
This is a VERY busy road and I was amazed the turtle had gotten as far as it did without incident. We were able to help complete it's journey towards the lake, take few pictures and log it as a Waymark.

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."
