[pct-l] Bearvault and DEET

[Ellen Shopes]

Reminds me of some JMT hikers we met one year.  Theirbear canwas stuffed full, so they left a few things out that they thought a bear wouldn't be interested in.
Things looked good the next morning as they started hiking towards Viginia Lake.  Then they noticed the smell of DEET...the small bottle stored in a pants pocket was leaking.  Further inspection revealed tooth marks from the bear who had checked it out!
