[pct-l] Burying food

[Ken Powers]

LOL

We were talking to a ranger about burying food for one of our hikes (not the 
PCT). He told us that if we buried our food, or even left it unattended for 
more than 24-hours, he would write us a ticket. We thought a minute about 
the cost of other alternatives and then asked him how much the ticket was. 
:O

That was not a good way to get cooperation from the NFS.

I agree with Eric. Those granite rocks are close to the surface in the 
sierra. We have seen huge rock cairns built. I wondered if they were to 
protect someone's food.

With all this talk of bear canisters, is it at all realistic to consider
digging a little hole and burying a bit of well sealed food every night? I
was thinking that one could use the bear canister and bury a couple extra
days worth for a few nights.

Thanks,
Brad.
