This is a food storage box at the Chiricahua National Monument. You might ask why anyone would want to place food in one of these boxes. It’s simple. The box you see is more bear-proof than a car. That’s really what the box is for – It is to keep the food that you bring to the campsite away from bears. If you keep the food in your car, the bears have no problem breaking a window and getting the food. Bears can be a serious issue at a campsite. Bears are serious business in Arizona.
