Dangerous booby traps were found on a Utah trail yesterday in a Provo Canyon.  There were multiple traps, one with a trip wire and 20 lb. spiked boulder swinging down and another trip wire with a bed of sharp wodden stakes beneath it.  An ex-military officer who now works for the U.S. Forest Service spotted it- luckily he had been trained in hazardous device detection.  Benjamin Steven Rutkowski, 19, of Orem and Kai Matthew Christensen, 21, of Provo were arrested in a Utah County Jail on Saturday due to a tip from some bragging on facebook.  What were these kids thinking?  Is Utah really this weird?
