I am reading posts from folks who say they, or someone they know, gets ticketed for having a candy bar on the seat, or even just for visible food in their car. I admit I never checked all the URLs that were posted. Slow connection on my laptop, so I avoid the web for the most part...... I haven't been everywhere just yet, but in years of traveling and camping in bear country in WY, ID, MT and even UT, I have not ever heard of such rules and regs. Yellowstone is my second home, and no slouch in bear issues, and if you DON'T store your food in the car, you are in big trouble :-) There are bear boxes but they are mostly a courtesy, not mandatory, except for back country which seldom includes a car :-) Where are these places where you cannot store food in your car? I ask in disbelief, but I don't dispute anyone's word. Its just that after 25 years of camping in bear country, that is news to me. I thought all NF, NP, BLM, etc rules pertaining to bears and wildlife were basically the same everywhere. From now on, maybe identifying these places will benefit others in future visits. If I travel to these places that does not allow food in the car, will I see this information posted, or given to me upon entrance? All my camping life, I have been told that a car is where the food goes, so I guess its good to read all the posts around here so I can learn even more <shrug> Thanks, Mark |
