    White Rim Road - Mice?

    Hi all,
    I have permits for the white rim in august but just saw an alarming YouTube where they said they had mice crawling all over their car and one with mice crawling all over a roof top tent!
    is this extreme or are mice a real problem?
    thanks!
    -David

    I once had a terrible time with just one little deer mouse determined to get into my backpack. The pack was leaned up on a big long log. In the morning I discovered that the mouse had gotten inside it and eaten nearly half a bag of M&M's - probably far more than it's own body weight! All along along the top of that log were different colored little splotches of mouse barf.

    Thanks Drew, yup while backpacking ive run into them I was just concerned as one of the videos said the mice had crawled up and on top of the roof top tent.... seems extreme but made me start to worry a bit...

    I'd probably bring along one of my cats; make them earn a meal for once.

    The Deer Mouse and the White-footed Mouse both can carry Hantavirus. Where you are going Deer Mice are the ones to watch for.
