> You're probably having trouble because the old map was removed from the

> the updates for the 2008 season. The only change from 2007 is that now
> the
> entirety of Yosemite National Park Wilderness will be a canister
> requirement area. It possibly makes a big difference for folks that
> typically leave Tuolumne Meadows without a bear canister...now it will be
> very challenging to legally leave Tuolumne without a canister, because
> you'd have to exit the northern boundary of the park before you could
> legally camp without a canister. This change was made by the NPS because
> there has been significant evidence of increasing bear populations in the
> northern portion of the park, and I believe there has also been an
> increase
> of bear/food incidents in that section of the park as well, though I
> can't
> swear to it. You could ask Tori (Yosemite's head bear biologist) at the
> ADZPCTKO in April...she'll be there with me.

> Anyway, at the very latest the map should be back up on
