Bear problem at Thomas Knob

[hikernutcasey]

So what's the latest on this problem bear? Does anyone know if they ever removed it? I was thinking of taking my son up there Friday night. We usually camp about .2 before the shelter on the Grayson Highlands side and there is nowhere to hang a bag. Are the bear bins still at the shelter? I guess I could use those.

I would assume that the problem has been solved, and that the bear boxes will remain there permanently

I'm heading up there on Thursday to do a section from Fox Creek back to Damascus. I guess I'll be carrying the bear canister.
