[pct-l] Mt Whitney Permit

[Gerry Zamora]

Im pretty sure if you go to PCTA.ORG you can apply for a thru hike pass
which is along the whole trail and its free.  Otherwise I believe you have
to get a pass from the forrest service for the section your going to hike in
this case mt Whitney.  Seems like gettig the thru pass is just easier and I
think u can do it thru the mail.
