GSMNP = Required Bear Canisters + Shelters
Am I correct in thinking that bear canisters + shelter areas are required from 164.6 at Fontana Dam, NC -237.2 Davenport Gap? If not, what is the exact area?
I didn't think bear canisters were required in GSMNP. I could be wrong if it's a brand new rule, but I've heard nothing to that effect.
Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.
It's on the home page of WB, but not sure of exact area. http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/cont...-canister-rule
So from just Jarrard Gap at 26.7 - 31.7 Neel Gap for the bear canister??

Ah, that, yes. Yeah, that's far south of GSMNP. And yes, it's just for that 5 mile stretch, and only if you're camping there. Easy to avoid carrying a canister as long as you just hike through there and don't spend the night.

It wouldn't surprise me what with the new rules requiring every site to be reserved and a nighty camping fee of $4. The next step is to require all backpackers to haul out their own turds and urine. Have fun folks but in a clockwise direction ONLY.
But that's not the GSMNP. Canisters are not required in the park yet.Originally Posted by WIAPilot

When I use a traffic circle, I'm HAPPY "the government" (i.e., WE) agree to circle it in only one direction. For that matter, when I travel roads to the GSMNP, I'm HAPPY we all agree to travel on the right half of the road. And that it's against the law to toss our litter out the window as we travel down public roads.

So is this correct about the shelter area?
Is that reservation requirement and fee in GSMNP for everybody including thru hikers ?

So you'd also be happy with a $20 fee for every car entering the park?When I use a traffic circle, I'm HAPPY "the government" (i.e., WE) agree to circle it in only one direction. For that matter, when I travel roads to the GSMNP, I'm HAPPY we all agree to travel on the right half of the road.

Tipi, don't even try to reason. There are baaaackpackers and then there are men like you. Enough said.
I could be happy with that! But we all know that can't happen.

This is what we thought with the backpacker's nighty camping fee.
Tennesse Legislature would have to lift the restriction on charging for auto traffic. I really don't see this happening as any revenue would go to the Federal Government I would think. The NC side is not restricted in any manner.

what does this have to do with the OP's question?When I use a traffic circle, I'm HAPPY "the government" (i.e., WE) agree to circle it in only one direction.

He's just responding to my post #5.
Going to classic lines saved! It wouldn't surprise me what with the new rules requiring every site to be reserved and a nighty camping fee of $4. The next step is to require all backpackers to haul out their own turds and urine. Have fun folks but in a clockwise direction ONLY.
When I grow up I want to be like Tipi, but at most 100lb pack
Nothing at all from what I read. "The Government WE" Horsepucky in my opinion.
I hike, therefor I am.

I think they should come out with a Tipi Walter action figure,complete with all the gear....books,real burning candles,full size note pad and pens,and a tent or optional tipi,cause lets face it...it's all about the accessories in the action figure world,but no bear vault,or bear bag.I'd buy one!
