[pct-l] Mt Whitney permit Change

[David Thibault]

I was a little confussed on this myself.  When I sent my thru hiking permit
request in a couple of days ago I included a Check for the $15 and added a
note to the pcta to keep the check for themselves if it wasn't needed for
just climbing Whitney.  I figure either way the $15 goes to a good cause.

Day-late
