This is a message for anyone in the class of '03 who has yet to purchase th=
eir bear canisters yet.
My husband (Brian) and I attempted to through-hike last year, but ended up =
section hiking due to injuries. We have two bear canisters collecting dust=
that served us well. If anyone would like to borrow them, all we ask is t=
hat you pay the postage to/from the trail. I'm happy to send them off wher=
ever you would like to pick them up. We started with them at Kennedy Meadow=
s. They're not the fancy kind, so they are a few ounces more. But they're =
yours to borrow!
I haven't been following the pct-l much this year, so don't know where the =
discussion is on pro/con of carrying a bear can. But I'm sure you've heard=
the multiple stories about last years hikers meeting up with bears and occ=
asionally loosing their food.
Good luck to everyone who is planning. It's a very exciting undertaking. H=
ope to see y'all off at ADZ.
Best, Ashleigh
