Massachusetts was very nice and provided bear boxes at most of the campsites and shelters. It provides a safe place to store your food from the two menaces - mice and bears. As I mentioned before, while Julia was with me we had a bear encounter in the night. We were woken up by the noise of the bear banging on the bear box. In the morning we discovered this:
 |
| Julia looking worried that the bear box almost rolled down the hill! |
 |
| Good thing it was chained to the tree! |
Thankfully though, our food was safe inside!
 |
| All of it was still there! |
It seems, however, that Vermont is not filled with bear boxes as MA was, so I have resumed hanging my food in the trees to keep it away from the bears, but really more importantly the mice!
