Why did the Tortoise cross the road?

To check out the cyclists, of course.
We were riding last night and all of a sudden there was a desert tortoise crossing the road in front of us! A kind lady stopped in her car and carried him back into the desert. I knew they existed here in the desert. I just thought they lived way out in the desert. Not so close to home. He was pretty cute. About the size of a basketball. A first for me that's for sure.

Where were you riding when you saw it? We saw bunnies crossing on Grand Teton tonight on our way to dinner.
