The information I gave was the most accurate and complete information that
I know about the subject. I think it is up to the individual to decide his
own course, to hike his own hike. Knowledge of the penalties and
enforcement trends are part of the mix. I was neither advocating breaking
or following the dumb rule restricting dogs on the small sections of the
PCT that pass through the parks.
IMHO, blindly following the "regulations" just because some in-duh-vidual
in Washington thought they were right is foolish. Many things that are
moral are illegal, and many things that are immoral are legal. I prefer to
think for myself.
