It appeared to be petrified lying there at the water’s edge. I finally viewed Lake Heron which was buried in the woods nearby me. It was part of a private camp ground. I had never seen the pond before: the entrance to the camp ground is usually cordoned off. Finally my curiosity got the better of me. It was Sunday and the entrance was open. I drove right up to the water edge. The pond is approximately an acre big. It was odd. At the edge of the water there was a big dead turtle. And what was weird about it, it appeared to be petrified–mummified actually. I had never seen anything like that. It was all dried up. I had never seen anything like that. I did not have the slightest idea how the turtle got that way.
