[pct-l] Kennedy Meadows hiking north

[tlh858 at msn.com (RICHARD MC KEON)]

Thanks Annemarie,

That looks like the information I need. We hiked the JMT last year from Yosemite to Mt Whitney and ran into several groups doing this hike. We probably talked to you! Do you remember two older guys, one with a big gray beard?

  Hi Rick,

  Last summer I got a permit for the exact same trail section faxed to me a
  couple of weeks before my trip from the Forest Service office in Bishop. 
  Luckily, the PCT entry point into Golden Trout/South Sierra Wilderness at
  KM does not have a quota so you can pick up a permit for any day anytime.
  Here's a link to the quota info: 
  http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/inyo/recreation/wild/quotas.shtml<http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/inyo/recreation/wild/quotas.shtml> (Kennedy Meadows
  is at the bottom).  The phone number and address of the Bishop ranger
  station is listed there.  If you are passing through Bishop, you can pick
  up a permit in person.  If not, they should fax it to you.
