Shame on everyone...we know this isn't Miranda. Let's give Bennett a chance to show what she can do. Hard enough without a bunch of keyboard pirates bringing her down.

Way too much...
Just take what you need for the time you intend to be out and go!
Too many people are concerned with the "what, where, when" that they never go out and do something...
Trust me, any destination you go to outside does not care about some permits or who the owner of the land is as long as you stay respectful and clean of your surroundings and others.

Just Go and enjoy serenity!
