I once caught up to a line of stopped cars. I stopped, got out, walked up to the front. There was a snapping turtle ~4 ft across in the middle of the road. Not knowing my grandma's rceipt for turtle soup I carried it acroos the road so we could proceed. This was when I lived in New England I think it was next to an apple orchard in Hudson Mass. I presume the turtle was going to get some apples.
