It makes no sense to remove them and put them back.
It does make sense to enforce people removing their items in the summer months.
I know for a fact that people were simply leaving them in there year
round and just crossing off last years date and changing it to this year.
Why they are getting rid of 1/2 the capacity is beyond me.
I thought they should be adding bear lockers... not removing them.
So, no I do not think they will be replacing them.
On a related note... on Le Bas-cat Dome "Gully" hike I found some bozos
5 gallon pail o crap. People are just lazy sometimes.
