Based on a discussion that was had on the discussion page[0] of 
tag:amenity=bear_box, I am proposing a change of this tag from amenity=bear_box 
to amenity=bear_cache with an additional tag of bear_cache:type=* to better 
clarify what type of bear cache is here.  The term "bear cache" seems to be a 
better definition of "bear box" and is defined in Wikipedia[1] to include both 
boxes, poles, and other structures that are designed to keep animals, 
specifically bears, out of your food while camping.

There are only sixty-seven (67) instances of tag:amenity=bear_box in the 
database as of 2023-06-19 so changing to the new tag won't be a huge lift.

Thoughts?

R,
Eric "Sparks"
