Yep. Two weekends ago a ranger swept the parking lot at the Portal and posted notices on (or cited) about one car in three for food violations. Several people were warned based on the presence of just one visible water bottle left on a console beverage rack. Apparently a tougher response to the activities of the two extraordinarily troublesome bears this summer. They even give you a spiel about these particular bears at the IA Center when picking up your permit.
What he said. When we were up early in July, the same thing was going on. There were three or four cars in the parking lot that had yellow tags on them that listed a warning regarding bears associating plastic water bottles with food. Including one car with a note on the windshield that said it was going to be there for a good two or three weeks to come.
