Where is this?

Maybe you could just sprinkle salt on the neighboring cars.

LMAO...nice one. Seriously though, avoid the blue Honda Pilot...that one is mine

Second the stop at the campground. I camped there last summer and the rangers come by when you pull in and give you chicken wire to put around your car. They would be more than happy to give you some I'm sure.

Bugaboo Provincial Park in BC. The problem is so bad there the rangers provide the chicken wire.

Being lazy and don't have my map out but this is at the TH for the 4 pass loop? I plan to do the hike next month and just want to make sure I'm prepared. I'll be in a rental so not to terribly concerned but would like to keep the brakes in working order.

Thanks. That is hardcore!

Is this a problem anywhere in Colorado other than the Elks?

I got attacked at S. Colony Lakes. Found him under my car and had to chase away. Chewed at my wires, was fortunately able to get back home but my car did eventually die in Denver one day due to chewing done to the wiring.

I guess to be more specific I am looking to car-camp near Huron and wondering if this is an issue in the Sawatch as well...

Why are these creatures attracted to chewing on wires?
