George, I was aware of this but decided to take my chances as I figured
there
were not too many rangers patrolling between 1 & 5am. In fact no cars
passed
my location until after 4am. I was also pretty well hidden from sight
from the
road by that huge mass of rock. Eventually I will probably cough up the
$30
but the fee is totally ridiculous and a major ripoff.

You never knew of my special trained meteors? It took a long time but I
finally
got them to perform during the last few hours before dawn. They will
even
perform for others if you say "pretty please"!
