[pct-l] Bears and cars

[dude@coruscant.net (The Dude)]

I wondered about this myself.  seems like it might work...  I try not to drive to the Trailhead, so I don't have to worry about it while Hiking.  Now that the Greyhound bus no longer makes the route on 395, I am not sure what I will do.

peace,
dude in texas
