[pct-l] Bear Cannister Requirements after Sonora

[Craig Gates]

IMHO, when in bear country use a canister and try not to teach the bears where 
and who has the food.
Even though canisters are not required around the Tahoe area, the Ranger 
Stations provide free use
of bear cans since this is an active area.
Me, I always carry my can in the Tahoe area, I'm not looking to be the one who 
starts teaching bad habits to the bears.

As always, HYOH

My food was never disturbed, but I tend to hike on a ways after supper (actually I was going stoveless) and find little used campsites whenever I can.
