KNP&P Facebook Post re: Camping in Bear Country & Food Cache:[]
KNP&P's July 1, 2018 06:49 Facebook post :
"Savvy hikers keep their food cache far away from their tent. In this case, a bear checked out the cache, but left the campsite (and campers) alone.
When camping bear country, be sure to keep food and food odors away from your tent area and use bear resistant storage containers.
