Turtle Traps

>

Here’s some stuff that should be, but isn’t, in the Dangerous Book for Boys. It’s something Uncle Philbert taught me—how to make a turtle trap from an orange crate. (If you can't read the instructions, leave a comment and I'll type them out for you.) It's pretty easy to do, and if you don't have an orange crate, you can use any old wood.


Me and Dad are going to make one and then i'm going to see if i can catch one of those mean old snapping turtles that are in the pond out behind the middle school.

That reminds me: school. Ugh. Starts in three days.

Anyway, here's the Uncle Philbert Word for Today: striddles. Go and exercise your constitutional right to vote in the poll (on the right).
