RB-012 The Eviction of Pa and Ma Skunk

This is classic tale of home ownership gone very, very wrong. Try putting yourself in the place of the family in this story as they try to rid themselves of one terribly stinky problem.
A tall Texan by the name of Arnold Flemming and his family fall in love with and buy a home near Goose Lake. The home is a dream home for the Flemmings until they discover that there is already a family living under the house, a skunk family, who want to turn the Flemmings' dream into a nightmare. The skunks drive the Flemmings out of their new home and ruin the Flemming's belongings. A neighbor calls Ranger Bill, Stumpy, and Gray Wolf to get rid of the striped home wreckers. Bill can only guess how to drive out the skunks. Several attempts to evict the skunk family fail. Will Bill be able to find a way to get the skunks to leave the area?

Congratulations Trailwise Readers

Congratulations those of you who participated in our Trail Dangers Survey. 61% of you correctly picked Falling as the number one danger to hikers and campers. Here is how Backpacker magazine rated our five trail dangers:
1. Falling
2. Heart Attack
3. Cold
4. Avalanche
5. Bears
You might be interested to know that water is nearly as big a danger as falling. Drowning and injuries from rapids, floods, and water falls hurt almost as many hikers each year as falls do. Also Bees are a greater danger on the trail, especially to those allergic to bees, than bears are. Bears may be powerful and dangerous, but they tend to avoid humans unless those humans risk hiking in heavily bear-populated areas.

RB011 Death's Half Mile

Bill, Stumpy, and Gray Wolf try to help Bruno Allen and his son Eric save lives at Death's Half Mile, an extremely dangerous stretch of road. This roadway contains a sharp curve, a narrow bridge just past the curve, and a railroad crossing that comes out of a narrow valley. The half mile sees about three accidents each week. Government and rail officials can't seem to find the money to put up any kind of lights or other warning signals. What can Bill do to protect drivers there?
