No one ever said a word about not being compliant that I saw. I think we
are still in the process or sorting out what has happened. I know I and
several others have filled out permits, I have seen permits filled out by
others besides me in the rangers office, If they have been lost, misplaced
or intentionally thrown out hasn't been made clear yet, to me anyway. I'd
be more than happy to fill out the proper paperwork again if needed. I
can't say I have heard anyone say they wouldn't??
