[pct-l] Park service vs. Park Service

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
 OK,  Glacier verses Yosemite!!! So Yosemite's answer is to bear box or
canister everything while few Glacier employee's even know what a canister or
bear box is!! Actually there are a few bear boxes in Glacier, but mostly the
backcountry campsites had bear poles for hanging food and only a few had
boxes. Glacier requires you to cook in a separate area than where you sleep.
They seem to have a good handle on the bear situation. ( You don't need to
pack a canister) I saw no bears in Glacier and heard of no problems.
       Yosemite on the other hand is a zoo!! You need a canister or bear box
everwhere. Bears are out of control. How can two Parks have such different
sets of rules? Glacier would get a A+ while Yosemite gets a D- for their
seperate bear handling report cards.
