Trap set!

Ok--we are moving right along. George and Rachel came by, a bit earlier than anticipated and we've set the trap by the raccoon's favorite (and only) entrance.  We baited it with cat food, camouflaged it with old towels.  Now all I have to do is wait for the hungry raccoon to find its way back in.  Once the raccoon is safely contained, I'll carry the trap outside and release it back to the wild.
Various instructions say you should take it miles away, but since the house will be sealed tight, and the raccoon is only entering because it has no place else to go, I think I'll be fine just opening the door and letting it find it's way out.
