[pct-l] Permit Memories

[Tim Umstead]

In '96 we meet only one ranger, just outside of Tuolumne Meadows.

In '15 we meet only one volunteer ranger on Devils Slide, heading up it of
Idyllwild.

CDT in '17, 0 rangers.

Maybe not changed so much.  I think I met the same ranger at a roadside
stop on my way to section-hike north from Sonora pass in 2016.  He was very
annoyed with me not being able to name each of the campsites I would use.
Told me crossly that SOME people plan their hikes.
