At this point, my vehicle is pretty much ready for our upcoming Yosemite trip. We are leaving Rohnert Park Thursday evening, and stopping in Mountain View for a set of used Smittybilt step bars, which will make my wife happy. I may also be selling my old rear leaf springs on the way, which is cool too!
We are slightly concerned however about bears. We are planning on sleeping in the Suburban, and although we won't have any food inside, I will spray the windows with bug spray to keep the mosquitoes or what have you out, since I don't have screens yet. We'll be bringing one trunk (latchable container) for food & silverware/ pots/ percolator etc. which we'll be putting in the "bear locker" whenever we are not using it. Over the back window, I use an old Mexican blanket usually, and the front windows are not covered.
Should we be concerned about sleeping in the Suburban? Even though there will be no food in it, will bears come investigate the bug spray smell?
We are both looking forward to this trip, and are hoping to check out Mono Lake, as well as Bodie, while out there.
Thanks,
Clay
