[pct-l] Fire danger may close forests

[Marcia]

Wouldn't be the first time to close forests due to fire danger.  Several New 
Mexico National Forests were closed in 2002 forcing CDT hikers onto roads. 
One forest Ranger gave permits to thru hikers so he could keep track of 
numbers and let hikers take an alternater route through Cibola NF. The 
permit was good for a dirt road walk, no stoves allowed and water drops on 
the road. The Ranger knew some thru hikers would ignore the closure but the 
special permits gave the FS some contol. I liked that system!

I also hope that if the PCT runs through a forest closure that the PCTA 
could negotiate a special permit for thru hikers.
