Thanks HnD for the info.  We have tripped over 28 years to the Q, but next Fall we are thinking about basing on Crooked.  As I was exploring camps, I realized there are many more camp options on the US side, but I want to fish many of the bays in the Q. It got me to thinking on how I could make that work and I just did not have the answers.  I had never really thought about it before.  Anyway, I assume I can purchase the 'day permits' at the PP ranger station?  I would also assume the cost would be much less than camping fees/permits? Finally, (and this is a really dumb question), as I am not technically 'entering' the Q, I would not need to obtain an entry point permit?
