[pct-l] Cannisters v. Bear Boxes

[Carol Feinberg]

Hi All,
While the distance from Reds to Tuolumne and Tuolumne to the Yosemite park border make hiking bear box to bear box formidable, there is another drawback to that strategy. Hiking from box to box forces you to camp close to boxes, squelching those moments when you exclaim, "This is awesome, let's stop here tonight!"Its handy to have your canister when you come upon those spots where the evening light compels you to stop and you know the next day's sunrise will amaze you, too. Canisters add weight, but facilitate your freedom.
