#31176 of 31415 nice road trip here too by steve_ HOST Aug 01, 2009 (11:09 pm)
We took the '97 Outback over to California for a week of cruising around. Coming back through the desert this morning seemed like a good occasion to mark the odometer rolling over 75k ... while doing the speed limit. This one's for you Juice - apparently chipmunks eating wiring is a big problem up the Mineral King Road in Sequoia NP. Chicken wire fencing is common but quite a few cars were protected by laying a tarp down, driving over it, and then wrapping the car up in it.

Replying to: miksmi (Aug 02, 2009 12:09 am) The cabin inholders up there build a chicken wire "garage" using metal fence posts. Those setups don't touch the cars. I guess the backpackers would rather have some scratched paint and a car that cranks at the end of their trip. Access is via 19 miles on a twisty, narrow dead end road - it's mostly paved, but it's also mostly one lane, especially the last 12 miles, and goes from ~800' to 7800'. I'd hate to think about the towing bill if a critter ate up some wiring. I guess out of ~35 cars parked near the end of the road, about 10 were either wired or tarped.

Replying to: kcram (Aug 02, 2009 4:26 pm) That's great KC - I even surprised my doc a couple of weeks ago by losing 5 pounds. I'm back on Fitday trying to watch calories.

Replying to: rsholland (Aug 02, 2009 12:39 pm) Hehe, yeah Bob. Saw a 2010 Outback at Fitzgerald in Rockville, MD. Didn't have time for a test drive. Lots of room behind the rear seats. Still have the 00 GT wagon. ..Mike Replies to this message: rsholland (Aug 03, 2009 5:07 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 01, 2009 11:09 pm) How funny, you'd think he cover the top of the car, that looks like it would hold water! I was close to that extreme after paying a $700 repair bill for the mess the chipmunks left on my van's wiring harness. Actually what I'm using now are moth balls. I keep them on the car port floor inside of a hollow brick. Gotta replace them every once in a while, but no chewed up wires since I started doing that.
