Notes
So Sad, Ran over on back end. Unable to move back legs but could move front legs strongly. Seriously who does see a huge turtle in the middle of a long straight away? GRRRRRRRR. I moved it off the road into the brush near the bog. I had to be at the airport and didn't have time to find a recovery home for the poor turtle.
