I should say the coyote's were only a problem in that I stupidly left my cooler sitting on the ground while I went for a soak. They dragged it in the nearby bushes & had their way with it :( Ate my chicken & ham & margrine. At least I still had a can of chili and my beer. Remember to put you're food in the car when you leave your campsite! Also I suffered 1 ruined tire ( bf goodrich all terrain .damn!) blew a gasket on my exhaust pipe & a elect. cable came loose. Not to bad all in all.
