<DIV>I just thought of something else to consider. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In 2002 there were many areas where open flame stoves were against
regs due to drought/fire restrictions. Only pressurized gas stoves
with a valve such as canister, white gas stoves, etc were legal. Alcohol,
Esbit, Sierra Zip stoves etc were forbidden.. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm sure we passed through some areas were there was a total ban
but most trailheads weren't posted, or by the time you got there on foot it
was too late.. so careful out there... </DIV>
