As we are counting down the days to Buck Lake, I wanted to bring to everyones attention that we will be camping in bear territory. The Forest Service has implemented a Food Storage Order requiring proper storage and disposal procedures for food, garbage and other attractants. As outlined in the order, these items must be stored in approved bear-resistant containers, hard-topped vehicles or in “food hangs” when not in use. Please take the time to follow this weblink for more information.
