[pct-l] ursack and titanium

[cmkudija at earthlink.net (cmkudija@earthlink.net)]

On my nobo Section G-to-H hike this September, I met a hiker in
mid-September who'd been confronted by the bear.  He told me that he
reported the incident to the SEKI backcountry ranger, who informed him that
the bear had a date with the business end of a rifle (or other WMD) in
October.  I don't know if the bear met its destiny or not.  My avoidance
strategy was to bivy just south of Forester Pass, and hike through the
bear's territory, ending just beyond Glen Pass in one day.  It was a bit of
a grind for the fourth day of my hike, but definitely doable.  The long
downhill in the Bubbs Creek drainage helped.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached its top.  Then
you will know how low it was.

I don't know what that bear is up to at the moment, but s/he was still
active (getting lots of press in the form of flyers on trail signs, etc.)
when I passed through there on the JMT in mid-September.
