[pct-l] Bear Canister

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, Dan,

Unless you plan to try to rely upon using the installed bear boxes you
should have your food in the ‘can by the time you get to Cottonwood Pass.  For
most hikers that means the ‘can needs to be mailed to Kennedy Meadows.

Enjoy your planning,



Steel-Eye

Hiking the Pct since before it was the PCT – 1965
