[pct-l] Kick Off this past April

[Scott Williams]

She was the bear expert from Yosemite.  If you call there, they should be
able to give you her name.  I spoke to her about the relative lack of bear
problems in the high country last year compared to years past, and she
acknowledged the changes in bear behavior because most of us hikers are now
using bear cans.  We are no longer the easy target for food, and fewer bears
are migrating to the high country to prey on our hanging bags.  According to
her, and another Yosemite ranger I spoke to, the high country is not their
usual range, as it is ralatively devoid of food, and only became part of
their summer wanderings because we brought so much food up there, and made
it so available to them.
