So, way back on Memorial Day, when I fired up my truck after my Cherry Creek Canyon trip, the check engine light was on. I ignored it for awhile (in the past it's turned off on its own--it's a Dodge...), but eventually I had a mechanic take a look at it. The problem: something had chewed through a sensor wire:
So, I offer a poll, not about some obscure lake in Northern Yosemite, but something more important: what--or who--attempted to disable my truck. For those who are not regulars on this site, a reminder: there is one party we know was in the area at the time of this incident. Oh, and the mechanic mentioned something about pink tufts of what he thought was insulation...
Anyway, I was able to return safely home from the trip, and the truck is running fine, but in the interest of preventing problems for others who park at Shingle Springs trailhead, I believe it's important to determine what this wire-chewing beast was--or still is.
