<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Mostly true. But not using a cannister may raise
moral issues too. Some new info eliminating bagging in the north of
Tuolumne was recently posted on the PCT-L (Ken? Was that you?), but this is the
info as of March 22, 2007. It is FAR from practical, but it is possible
(maybe) with one side trip, to use bagging and bear box only. I'm not
going to try it this year. Also, I found that all the rangers are not
aware of the regulations in their area, and one, for three years or more,
has even been going outside her area to enforce laws that she
makes up to harass hikers. (Fact with a twist of resentment)</FONT></DIV>
