[pct-l] JMT/Sierra Conditions? + Bear Ideas

[Marge Prothman]

What is a "vuvuzuela"?  When I hiked in Alaska many years ago, we had a
whistle and we yodeled a lot.
Cheers,

Marge (the old gal.)

I'm wondering if a vuvuzuela might be more fun and lighter in weight,  
not to mention way more obnoxious than an air horn?
