Boy Scouts - Turtle ID Trip-which was originally to be  Snake ID Trip-but weather didn't prove good for snakes. May 12, 2001-the Snake ID Trip is scheduled for July 14, 2001
We all went to the Lehigh Canal and looked for turtles-The kids found some Musk and Painted Turtles-They did catch some Musk Turtles-They tried to catch Painted Turtles but the turtles were a bit too sneaky. They caught some frogs, too.

They all got wet and muddy and seemed to be having a great time in the water-much to parents dismay :-)
as they had to load all the muddy wet scouts into cars to go home.
Looking For Musk Turtles
I think they found some!
Ah Ha!! A Musk Turtle!
and yes they bite!!
A Green Frog!
Part of the Merit Badge reguires the boys to take care of reptile or amphibian for a short time.
This scout found his herp to care for that day.
The frog will be released later, back to same place it was found.
