Every year since as long as I can remember my dad would have us look for a turtle while we were in MO. We would always see them on the side of the road (usually squished :S)....but he wanted one we could take home. I think there have been a few times we've found some, but last year they found a turtle and brought him back to Utah!
Tort was a good turtle. He hibernated (spelling ?) through the winter and didn't eat a thing! Then in the summer they drilled a small hole on the edge of his shell and had him hooked up to a dog run in the backyard! HAHA I can't believe he survived!

This year my dad decided to release him back in the wild. We took him with us to Missouri and set him free!
LATER TORT!

Tort looks so happy to be back on Missouri soil... you can tell he/she.. whatever, was way excited... I'm free, I'm home... you guys did good.
