Absolutely that's how they (it) got in. Easy for any mouse. I've seen them climb a concrete wall if not completely smooth. Can also jump astoundingly high for their size. Over many years of boats both large and small and now travel trailers we've learned that food in any form is a no-no. We even remove all spices. Missed a takeout ketchup packet one year.....mess in the spring. Also, any paper towel, toilet paper etc. Even with no food they love it as a nesting material. As noted, poison is a no go, never sure where they're going to hide and die. Spring traps work well, as long as you can check and clean it regularly. I'd also screw a piece of wire to it and attach it somewhere because I've seen them drag a trap a fair piece if it doesn't immediately kill them. My go to is a pail trap as shown. Use plumbing antifreeze since it won't freeze and the alcohol sort of preserves them so no smell.

I finished added some lights to the galley.   The admiral wanted more lighting over the counter.  I decided to add some under counter lights that I can then make mood lighting in the evening.  All runs off of 12V and added another Vimar Idea light switch (from GLS) to turn on/off.  It will default to what color it was left on, but can also be controlled with remote and Bluetooth (phone with app).  Also goes with music and whatever else…

@Lake_Bum how big is the boating area there- it is stunning! We all have our unique scenery but these pics you throw up are really something.

Lake Powell is pretty massive.  It's 186 miles long, and is top notch fishing/camping/recreation lake.  It's  a National Recreation area, so almost NO civilization at all.  Only a couple Marinas at each end of the lake.  Zero houses, hotels, Casino's, none of that stuff.  Just the amazing scenery that you see here in the pic.  And I'm under 2 hours away from it

@LaRea are you doing the loop?

Finished our first Loop, halfway done with a second one, already planning our third time around.  It's not a shittty way to live.  

Went down to take a look at our Marina this morning….

This is the Great South Bay

Usually spend a night in the city for the NY boat show, but missed it this year because of the storm. Got a little over a foot here. Still had the kubota 4240 with front end loader at the house from removing some trees so easily cleaned the driveway as well as cleaned out a few neighbors. Kids wanted a big snow pile so now have a roughly 8’ sledding hill in the yard and a second pile coming off the elevated platform of their fort. Put the plow on the F350 and did the in-laws place as well as a few others

Don’t have a picture from this storm, but went “sledding” at the airport similar to this again

Tuffing it out here...
