We passed the sign daily while in Koreshan SHS, on a reasonably straight stretch of sandy scrub pine and palm lined road. ‘Wildlife Crossing’ highlight by a drawing of a turtle or more correctly the Florida Gopher Tortoise. Leaving the other day, late in the afternoon there appeared to be a leather-like army helmet by the side of the road only it had four legs and was moving. Stopped the camper for a look. The tortoise was not deterred by my presence. It had the look and presentation of an aged being.  Way smaller than the Galapagos tortoise. Maybe it was about the size of half a soccer ball, with a slightly flattened top. After a little search on the internet I realized I was in the presence of an aged being.
