Nope. Once we tore off the fire, we tossed the rest. We were children, 8-9 years old, living in SE Ohio. It was this or hanging out at the pool hall.
And that was too far to walk from the country.
My pop used to go down to Will's Creek with my uncle Mick and they would feel for snapping turtles. Can you imagine, walking along the banks of a small creek and sticking your hand into a hole in said bank, all the while, hoping the durned old turtle hadn't backed in. They did that sometimes. I tagged along a couple times and carried the burlap sack.
