Our furry un-friend and the broken radio...

When we woke up in the rainforest and started to pack the car, we noticed a critter scurrying around in the trunk...we were told that some mice had been getting into cars at the campground so we proceeded to unload the entire car and look for the mouse, but we were unsuccessful. We did however find its new home it created for itself out of the toilet paper in the car. We disposed of its nest and figured since we couldn't find it that it must have left the car.

We were not happy when we found a new nest in the trunk of our car when we were camping in Elkton, Oregon. We decided we had to do something about the creature living in the trunk so when we got to Klamath Falls we bought some mouse traps and set them up in the car while we were camping at the Redwood National Forest. Our attempts to catch the mouse have been unsuccessful, and now all we have to prove of the mouse's existence is our broken radio and its nest remnants. (No, we still have not found the bastard.)

We're pretty sure the mouse chewed through a wire for the radio since we turned it off and heard a loud popping sound and smelled something burning...some road trippers may have a hard time continuing the trip without a radio, but we kept ourselves entertained by practicing our what started out as southern but turned into our hillbilly accents.
