Things move fast in Florida. We even saw a turtle run last week.

We were walking the trail around Hogeye Sink and saw a turtle trying to cross Marsh Bend Trail. I tried helping it up the curb. I finally got it over the curb and I tried helping it move away from the road and toward the pond. Once it could smell the water (I think), it started moving it's legs very energetically and I dropped it. Then I swear the turtle ran into the pond. I never saw a turtle move so fast.
