Monty et al -

GREAT JOB.  I don't care what the few naysayers say about your recent
efforts to (ahem) nail down the bear-resistant canister regs - GREAT JOB.
It's a confusing world out there.

This said - my take on the whole bear canister thing - I've gotten used to
it and have rented a Bearikade on my last two PCT section-G to H hikes, one
solo, the other with my extremely significant other.  It's just easier to
cram stuff into the canister and simply to sleep worry-free.    Then again,
I have small feet :)

Just got an email tonight from the forest service.

A map outlining what we've spent many, many hours putting together was just
completed and posted by the US Forest Service TONIGHT especially to inform
US PCT THRU-HIKERS!!................................. we are loved.

AND IT'S AWESOME!!!

They (Rob and Tori) will also display this map at the Kick Off next month
and answer questions about bears and proper food storage.  Please stop by to
thank them.  (other than our list :)  )  this is the first time anyone has
compiled such data for us hikers.

Thank You All
This is history in the making
