Turtle emergency!

Turtle emergency!, originally uploaded by qwrrty.

Found this guy on the Minuteman in Lexington. Tried to figure out who to call for about 15 minutes without success, until he eventually started lumbering back off the path by himself. Hope he made it!

Wow! Just how big was he? From the shoes at the top of the picture, it looks like he might have been two feet or more long?

That sounds about right. This was a pretty majestic fellow. He started moving off the path after I had been standing still for a while and not making any noise, but when I approached him he stopped and hunkered down again, so I wonder if he wasn't just having a "you kids get offa my lawn!" moment.
