Indeed.  That's all I'm trying to do, for the people who want to get to the
sources of the rules.  As anybody who even drives a car knows, enforcement
is spotty and arbitrary, and there ain't much we can or want to do about
THAT.   At least the SEKI page gives a link to the Code of Federal
Regulations where the rules are officially promulgated.  The Inyo site just
states the rule, in an apparent "tough weenies" manner.

And yes, we had lots of discussions on this topic last year.  An archive
search on "bear" ought to turn up all of the canister/cannister rants.  And
Brick, your comments are well spoken and good practical advice for the wary.
