Hey Russ, I'm seeing more and more about the hantavirus risk to folks who visited Yosemite this year. Have you folks been warned about it? Hoping you're all well and stay that way.

Irv. we were in Yosemite at the time (late May) when those people who came down with the illness were. From what I've hear the people who are ill were all staying in one certain area (Camp Curry). We never visited Camp Curry so we are (hopefully) safe. At the time we were in Yosemite we didn't hear a word about the problem. For those who don't know (this is nasty) hantavirus comes from inhaling or ingesting particles of mice droppings, or urine, and has a 40 percent mortality rate.
