[pct-l] rangers

[patti kulesz]

no it's just that in the Sierras all the trails are regulated and also b/c the bear can is required by each person carrying food. There has been alot of bear activity out there and they're trying to keep the wild wild. B/c of the stupid tourists it's not so much the case anymore and the bears think we make them dinner every night. Anyways...until u reach that area no harrassment...During that time which u are in the Sierras u need to make sure u have all ur permits AND a bear can...they have been known to actually have u unpack them for proof. But most of the time they just ask...u say yes I have everything and keep going on ur mrry way...just be prepared incase they do ask for physical eveidence....

I keep seeing references to rangers giving hikers what seems to be a hard time; fire permits, going off itinerary; do they have something against backpackers? 
********************************************************************************

It's my personal belief that there are minimal posts on the positive side and tons of comments about rangers not being the most supportive. I do not believe they have anything against backpackers.

Negative, of anything, always gets more comments than positive. I believe rangers are doing a great job under horrible situations.

Not to take to heart everything you hear. Glad you brought it up.

are we there yet
