I've had rodents eat wiring in my truck a couple times. The check engine light didn't go on until at home; so it could have happened at home or a trailhead. $600 repair bill the first time and $1400 repair bill the second time. It's been two years now since the last repair job, but recently my I had my cabin air filter replaced it had a lot of large rodent droppings in it.

How many dryer sheets did you use?
Do you have a picture by any chance?

Hi Yury,

Welcome to HST! Not a photo but alternative usage recommendations: http://www.curbly.com/users/chrisjob/po ... yer-sheets" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :)

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
