ForestHiker,
I spoke to the Supervisor secretary on Monday and was told that we need to or I need to talk to the Deputy District Ranger Gabe Garcia. So I called him on Monday waiting for a call back so Today again I left another message to him hoping he will be able to give some information regarding bear canisters requirement. Still waiting... tomorrow I will call the Supervisor and talk to them being they told me if gabe isn't able to help they would...
So good start... just hope this doesn't fall off and disapear being winter is coming...
I know the USFS is busy these days but this is a problem that needs addressing...

: Seems like most everyone here is in
: favor of a bear canister requirement
: for the SGW. The requirement is
: currently being discussed by local
: Forest Service officials. However,
: the FS system is usually reluctant
: to impose additional requirements
: and restrictions on the public
: without a very strong need and a
: voiced desire by the public. We all
: know there would be a few who
: complain about having to buy or rent
: a canister.
: And instituting such a requirement
: involves a considerable amount of
: time, red tape, and many levels of
: review and approval. Also, FS
: workload is overflowing and
: priorities have to be set. We can
: help them be aware of the public
: desire and set those priorities by
: simply sending a short polite note
: about our desire for a bear canister
: requirement, letter or post card, to
: Forest Supervisor's Office,
: 602 South Tippecanoe Avenue,
: San Bernardino, CA 92408. Mine is on
: it's way.
