Default Rescue...Before my Coffee!

I'm an early riser and I like to walk when is cool and quiet, but when I looked out my window I found I had a visitor, a very lost one, busy trying to did a hole (eggs?) in my gravel drive. A very large (to me anyway) snapping turtle. They're endangered in my area.
I considered waiting till 9 AM to call the Humane Society but I doubted they would come ASAP to move a turtle half a kilometer. All the local 'rescue' groups only do cat and dogs. I even considered calling the Fire Department.
In the end I googled 'How to move a Snapper'. A snow shovel!
So after dragging a very heavy and noisy shovel down the street around the corner and into the wetlands I sent her? back into the marsh.
Whether she came from there or another area further away, I'll never know. Whether she stays there???
