One time, we were driving on a road in Sullivan County, and we saw what appeared to be a huge rock trying to cross the road and go into a lake.
We stopped, got out, and tried to convince the enormous snapping turtle to cross the road. It wouldn’t.
Dad got out a long branch, held it in front of the turtle, and led it across the road, while we blocked traffic. The turtle followed the branch and went into the lake.
30 years later, my daughter and I were in White Lake in Sullivan County, and we went over to a convenience store to get drinks for our party. There we found an enormous snapping turtle trying to cross Route 17A, to go into a lake. I walked alongside the turtle, holding up my hands to block traffic, and the turtle plodded across the road and into the lake.
I kept up the family tradition. My daughter was impressed.
