Winter road de-icer (salt?) corrosion on TC hardware
We traveled south through Salt Lake City in December during below freezing temps and rain/snow mix. Whatever they use to de-ice their highways was on the road pretty thick, and caused quite a bit of corrosion on the rear end of my TC's hardware.
Just a word of advice to avoid travel when you can at such times in areas where they use corrosive de-iced (I'm figuring salt since it is abundant there). If you HAVE to travel at such places and times, fresh water rinse thoroughly as soon as possible.
Washington state (home) uses a fairly non-corrosive de-Icer, so I did not expect such a significant and quick reaction by my metal parts/pieces/hardware/latches/etc.
This is a chance to learn from someone else's mid-adventure....
