[pct-l] Bear Canisters

[Aaron Wallace]

Based on the new map at
http://www.sierrawildbear.net/foodstorage/map032107.pdf, the longest
canister-required/no-bear-boxes stretch is between Agnew Meadow and
Tuolumne Meadows.  Options:

1) Travel this section in one (long-ish) day.
2) Rent a canister in Mammoth/Devils Postpile and arrange to return it
in Tuolumne.  
3) Camp overnight in the Alger Lakes area, north of Gem Pass, entering
Yosemite via Parker Pass instead of Donohue Pass.
