[pct-l] Burn Bans

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

I am a gas canister user, but I wrote an introductory section of
several stoves in my hiking handbook, so I confirmed the use of
alcohol stove at the wilderness office of Yosemite last summer. They
said it was allowed. But,  I  learned here several discussions, so I
wrote them as an emergency usage. In future, several readers of my
book will visit USA.  I do not allow for them to trouble PCT/JMT.

Now, I am an PCTA foreign member.
