The last ticket I got was for $50. (defeated. The court case "forced" me to 
make an extra trip to Bishop.The worst part was the hour in the 
"courthouse" I had to spend before the hike up to Bishop pass.)

"$5000 and 6months" is the legal MAX for ALL USFS infractions. The actual 
fines are assigned by some sort of schedule. Just like Tom to overstate 
things by listing the absolute maximum possible<g>.

Upon what information source do you base this statement? Most permits were 
mailed out I thought.
