Hi - Are the bear boxes along the trail still locked?
Hi - Are the bear boxes along the trail still locked?
Just finished the LT from Killington to North Adams; only one locked that I noticed was Seth Warner. Kid Gore had three, all open!
AT Flip Flop (HF to ME, HF to GA) Thru Hike 2023; LT End-to-Ender 2017; NH 48/48 2015-2021; 21 of 159usForests.com
Wasn't aware that some of them could be tool boxes, that makes more sense; I didn't think Kid Gore got enough traffic to warrant so much storage!
The visitor log at Seth Warner (the same one that was there when I went through in 2016, needs replacing!) had multiple postings from hikers over the years stating the box was locked; if it's a toolbox for the trail maintenance crew, that explains it.
Thanks!

The bear box at Seth Warner was locked because people kept dumping trash in it.
