[pct-l] bear bags

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

Bear cannisters are required in Yosemite National Park.  They are getting close to requiring them in other areas also.  The ranger station at Lone Pine has a list of the bear storage boxes along the PCT in the Sierras.  Sorry don't know the website.   If you are going to stealth camp, you have a very good chance of getting through without a bear incident.  Pepper spray helps with the more persistent beasties.  Eric
