Mmm, once I was swimming 'cross turtle creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimming 'cross that thing
With both hands holing my ding-a-ling-a-ling!
A few years ago I heard banging noises in my garage. I searched for what was causing it and it was a snapping turtle.

I had a similar situation a few years back in the spring.
I opened the front door and there was a mama snapping turtle sitting on the front step. Which means she had climbed up two steps to get there.
She had been a been around the year prior and dug a hole on the side of our house to lay eggs in.
I am up hill from a good sized brook about 15’ across.
However, my house is up hill in elevation 40’ and about 200’ from this brook. So, she had to go uphill, cross the road and come up my 150’ driveway before getting to my front step.
