|         actually, the bears have already figured out how to beat the 
| new cable system.  as of last weekend there has been 14 reported 
| instances of hikers losing their food at springer to bears.  hikers 
| need to bring and use locking carabiners when using the bear cables.
|
| i don't belong to the list; you can forward this if you like.
