I understand, it was only an expression.  But if this is the same area where
the FS takes out the bear boxes and replaces them with "warning posters" what
is accomplished?  

My biggest pet peeve is liter on a trail, I absolutely hate it, and wouldn't
have a problem letting someone know my feelings.  

Ya, I know, there is no real wilderness experience anymore, but you can't tell
me that!
