Not wanting to be a scofflaw, let me say that the best intel I have gotten has said that permits are optional. This may be true only for day permits, but If I am wrong, I can say that I have never been asked to prove I have a permit in the San Jacinto Wilderness, and I have hundreds of trips and thousands of miles under my belt in the past 20 years. Midweek is especially safe, with zero patrols if my info is right. I'm not against the idea of permits, that's not the point in my response...but you asked for a quick answer, so I would definitely just go and enjoy the wilderness and relax in the knowledge that the rangers are by and large really good people who, to my knowledge, have never harassed a hiker in the past 20 years. Take a deep breath of that fresh, pine scented alpine air, and no worries.
