I was riding my horse in the state park with a friend, and ironically, we were discussing that there had been a recent sighting of a box turtle in the park and someone had put a pic on the state park webpage. My friend says, "hey, there's a turtle" and sure enough, there was this beautiful male with red and black markings on the face and front legs. i got off my horse and picked him up, for sure he had a black concave plastron. he was pretty large. I got this pic, but he refused to come out of his shell, so i placed him in the exact position i found him and we left. He was gorgeous. I have grown up in the country of northeast Pa my entire life and had never seen one in the wild. i am so happy i finally did! darn i am having issues with photobucket.
