by the book, no overnight parking on Tioga or spurs beginning 10/15, Sat. wilderness permits have been issued for more than 100 people on tioga trailheads for Fri. 10/14. I don't believe all 100 are being dropped off at trailhead, or are going in for 1 night and leaving Sat. (in fact, technically somebody whose car is at trailhead at 1 AM Sat, is parked overnight on Sat).
so, what's The Real (aka, Da Real) on this? I know the Law and Order answer (and I'm law-abiding), but does anyone have actual experience with this situation in previous years? There will be dozens of cars at the trailheads on Sat night, is NPS going to send out a ranger equipped with a ticket book at midnight? God knows they need the money for their budget, but not sure where ticket proceeds will go. anyone familiar with how it actually goes down will be welcome to answer. thanks in advance.
