[pct-l] bear boxes

[The Mountain Goat]

I guess this goes back to the point, that lawfully, you need a bear can since we only do 15 miles a day in the high Sierra (on average) . I liked having one anyway, since I didn't worry about food while I had it. All the way to Soda Spring.

There were changes in the signage, and the change of management policies with regard to placing bear boxes.  However, I have no concrete reason for saying that the Inyo is 60 miles long.  Just that there are no bear boxes for 60 miles, and that as least a good portion of this boxless area falls in the Inyo.
