[at-l] more cycling the BRP questions

[Slyatpct at aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

Most, if not all, the sites allow for self-registration.  If you got caught 
without paying they'd probably only expect you to pay.

The Parkway is a narrow corridor of National Park land mostly surrounded by 
National Forest land.  Peal off the Parkway 50 yards and it's probably legal to 
camp.

Hope that helps,

Sly
