Permit fee of $17 per person.  If registered when registration closes on 8/22, and then cancel, you will still be asked to reimburse me your portion of the trip cost.  Venmo preferred, but cash or check okay.  Destination may change at the last minute if heat wave, wildfire smoke, or other weather issues will be complicating factors.
