[pct-l] Tehachapi to Oynx - Bears ?

[m.karon@xxxxxxxxx (Marshall Karon)]

In this section, you are just leaving the desert, so I wouldn't even think
about a bear canister. Nor would I plan on inviting any bears to dinner,
lunch, or breakfast. Doubt you would find any to invite. Any bears in the
area haven't been "trained" like the High Sierra ones, so they are more
frightened of you than you of them. So, just go. Water will probably be your
only concern.
