[pct-l] Mt Whitney permit

[Kevin Cook]

I know there are wild onions, but is there really thyme along the trail?
Now you have me wondering what other things I might find to enhance my
backcountry fare. About the only one I know I'll be using for sure is sage
in socal. That's in addition to sucking on twigs of Mormon Tea if I see it.
Really helps on those climbs!
