Permit application moved to recreation.gov #13

Looks like permits have moved to recreation.gov this year so hackjohn is broken again. I assume the permit application process has otherwise remained the same, but I haven't looked into it in detail. Either way, it could be a substantial amount of work to update hackjohn.

I don't have the time to work on this at the moment but it's possible I will later this spring or summer. If anyone else wants to take a stab at it I can offer some help as needed.

Ah thanks for the update. Noting the new URL: https://www.recreation.gov/permits/445859.

Here's a screenshot of what the availability table is like:

No more captcha, but haven't looked into the architecture. The nice thing about a hackjohn to work with recreation.gov is that it could be more versatile for other reservation opportunities as well.

I don't have time to make the updates, so what this would require is the next generation of eager hacker hiker to come along and update the software. Pull requests welcome!
