[pct-l] Kearsarge Pass

[Greg Bull]

I dropped a resupply package in a bearbox at Kearsarge Lakes prior to my 
2010 JMT thru hike.  It was still there when I arrived, much to my 
relief.  After starting on the JMT I learned that food can only be left 
in a bearbox for a few days (something like 5, but I can't remember for 
sure).  I was afraid my food drop would be confiscated by a ranger but 
it didn't happen.  I attached a note saying I was a JMT thru hiker with 
an estimated date of arrival.  Another risk you have is small creatures 
getting into the box and dining on your food.  This happened to me but 
it only ate a little of my Grandmas Chocolate Chip cookie.  Also, 
someone added more food to my stash so I actually ended up with more 
than what I had dropped off.
