FYI, FWIW:
Just be aware that is the 2007 map...  There was a major change in 2008 for Yosemite...
Use <http://www.onthetrail.org/Images/map040108.pdf> for the most current map (2008)...
Same map was used for 2009 season and early 2010, but has now 'disappeared' from the web -
along with all links to SIBBG (Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group), which no longer
exists (all SIBBG links give a "503 - Service not available" blank web page)...
Thanks to "On The Trail" for saving the map image!!

Happy trails!!!
