This has actually always strangely bothered me. Not the Rhode Part, but...

Kinda like the Turtle Mountains

I found a hemi super cheap late 2014. Happy as a clam. Pulls my boat like it's not there. I too have heard great things about the little diesel. May upgrade in 2017.

Honestly I don't how the name came to be but I do know where there are rocks placed in the shape of a turtle about 300 yards from my house. The Late Ed Milligan told us it was a sign, The turtle always points toward a water source. It's under 5 or 6 feet of water now but the lake has been way down a few times over the years , My Dad knew of it when he was a kid, it points to the area where there are flowing springs that are also under water I'm still looking for the mountains but can't see them there's hills in the way.

Before that they moored Ships in the foothills.

I was "this close" as they say... But couldn't find in a 6.5 ft box with crew cab. Rare combo - which seems goofy to me.

The Great Flood
Stories were always a way of teaching. The following legend refers to the Ojibway’s oral legend of the great flood.

Sky Woman looked down upon the waters that covered the earth after the great melting of the ice. She saw a Giant Turtle (who was called Mekinok) in the water and came down to stand upon his strong back. Then, she summoned Muskrat to dive down in the water as far as he could – to find a part of the earth. Three times he dived, but cam up empty. The fourth time, Muskrat was gone a very long time. Sky Woman grew weary, but she waited patiently and prayed. Finally, she saw a gleam of bubbles far down in the depths. Soon, Muskrat broke the surface of the water gasping for breath, but he had a piece of mud in his paws. Sky Woman thanked Muskrat and told him that he would always have a home on the land and in the water as well. She then took the wet dirt into the palm of her hand, dried it and blew gently, to the north, to the east, the south and the west. Whenever the dust from the dirt went, land came up around the Giant Turtle. Soon the land completely encircled Mekinok. And Mekinok became Turtle Island, the center of the world and the birthplace of the Anishinabaug, the original people. As the land grew, even Mekinok became covered with topsoil and the Anishinabug called him Mekinok Wajiw (the mound of earth that is a turtle). Today, it is called Turtle Mountain. .
This is a part of our ancestors creation story
