Notes

I was towing my kayak to hitch up at a place on the dam to fish and I saw a turtle's shell by a rock (in about 10in of water) and flipped the rock and I saw legs.I put him on the bumper of our truck to do something because he was in his shell and 3 min later he was in the lake. He must not have been harmed because we looked everywhere on land and water.
