All I can say is to study the route and see where it passes through the 
bear-can-mandatory zones (in Yosemite and Ansel Adams Wild and whatever 
is added in 2004).  Then you take your chances with getting or not 
getting a ticket and losing or not losing your food to a bear.  You 
probably won't find any bear boxes on the route.  Also not many bears or 
rangers.  It's your call.
