Do only large groups need to get permits or does every hiker.  If I hike 
alone but happen to catch up or get over taken by a group will I be identified as 
being a part of the group.  What if 20 -25 solo hikers happen to hike at the 
same pace or hike at varying paces but happen to come together at a particular 
place; will they all be considered to be part of the same group?  

It is good to know that there are places to "hang out" in the Whites. By the 
time I get that far I will figure some things out.  BTW is it permitted to 
walk in the dark (hike at night in the Whites)?  Well, I know that the Little 
Lyford Pond Camps is in Maine but since you mentioned the Whites I thought I'd 
stay in the area.
