The real 'method behind his madness' was looking for a missing mouse trap that was tripped the other day and to see where the mice are getting in...and if they have caused any damage. Steve had trapped 2 mice at Watson Lake and 2 more since then. (So far he is tied with the amount of fish he caught at Muncho Lake!) He eventually found the trap with a little blood on it and no mouse... so hopefully Mickey made his escape and didn't die in our rig somewhere. If you recall when we were in Tumbler Ridge we had used the rest of our Fresh Cab in our bedroom ceiling and H/W tank area inside our kitchen counter and so far all is good there. Well after pulling the sidewalls off the basement area Steve discovered that there is a large open area between the floor and the underbelly enclosure of the trailer. And those sidewalls have a 2 " gap between the top and the floor above. He could see daylight coming through a large hole where the slider hydraulic rams come through the trailer frame.
The good news...no "known" damage.
After lunch, Steve dropped me off at the Super Store to do some grocery shopping while he went to get a haircut. Unfortunately, he wasn't successful...the place he wanted to go to was closed Monday's. Oh well...he'll have to try tomorrow.
So he started looking for places that might carry the Fresh Cab. Nobody had ever heard of it but Fraserway RV (yes, there is a Fraserway RV here in Whitehorse) had just started carrying a product called Rodents Odor Free. It is similar but has no odor. Time will tell if it works as well.
It was well after 5:00 by the time we got home...exhausted! And that was pretty much our day...we're going back into sightseeing mode tomorrow.
What kind of things did you find were hard to get? You said the grocery and Walmart didn't have some of the things you needed?
