[pct-l] Bear Canisters, Oregan

[Tom James Personal]

Great advice.  If Hiking Oregon in Sept my concern would be rain.  Suggest carrying the rain gear instead of bear sacks.   I hiked a 100 mile or section last year and did not see a bear or significant sign .  I also hiked the timberline trail around mt hood last year and seen significant sign. I would therefore suggest caution while hiking the pct in northern Or.  

Walk on.  Tj
