One of the biggest I have seen.  I would say the shell was a 2 feet or more.  I should have laid something near it for scale.

I'd put 2 feet at 50-60 pounds. Only ever seen 3 over 50(on a scale, not estimate) and one over 60. Nice find.

50 seems big so maybe I am off by a few inches but like I said one of the biggest I have seen and I have seen a few big ones.  Weird thing was I found him out in what is basically a hay field along a friends grass landing strip in some tall grass.  Guessing he was moving in the night and got stuck there in the heat of day.

Very possible it could have been that big-the shell definitely has the look of an old turtle. Wasn't doubting your size claim at all.

I need to try to get something in the pictures to show size next time.  I took this picture a few weeks ago.  Everyone said it looked big this little guy is maybe a little over a foot long and the size of the small finger.   Actually in this picture there are a few what we used to call potato bugs (some call them pill bugs the ones that roll up in a ball) by the rock and the leaf gives some reference to size. Nothern Ringneck Snake.

A few from Angola Balloon's Aloft today.  I wasn't there for the morning and evening balloon flights so planes will have to satisfy you.

Very nice PT13





PT19





PT19 next to the Bumblebee, Kitfox 2





Yankee Air Museum B25







Waldo Wright's New Standard biplane





Thanks to the CAP for watching the plane for me so I could spend some time looking at other parts of the show.

Excellent job.





And one picture of my friends who we fly balloons with.  Went to see them even though we weren't flying with them today.

Had a nice visit.
