Re: [pct-l] thru-hiker permit?

I lost my thru permit and feared being caught without one. I was in Yosemite. 
The ranger simply issued me a new one on the spot. In Lassen Park I was told 
by an inquisitive, obviously lonesome ranger who literally had nothing better 
to do than check permits in order to strike up a conversation that my thru 
permit wasn't valid in Lassen. Rather than argue with him I just let him 
issue me a "valid" permit. I have found that most backcountry rangers are 
lenient can't we all just get along types. I have met a few exceptions to the 
rule, but not on my PCT hike
