[pct-l] Yosemite Tioga Road and High Sierra Camps

[samberry at bu.edu (samberry@bu.edu)]

Sorry if this is pretty simple but I'm not all that familiar with how
Yosemite works.  I'm leaving on a hike in one week going southbound
from Echo Lake and at some point should be going through Glen Aulin
and Yosemite Valley.  Does the fact that Glen Aulin is closed mean
that I can't stay there or only that they're not offering services?
Can I stil use the bear boxes there?  Is this going to be a problem
for me?  Thanks
