Re: rec.gov - New Beta Campground Notification Feature

I actually included this in my trial: Link.

I’ve only had one hit to date (results in thread), and Rec.gov didn’t register (others did) . A couple weeks later I did have a (suspected phantom) alert from Rec.gov and none of the others.

Re: 2024 Lottery Results

So it looks like they’ve locked out viewing availability unless you had a successful lottery application. Not sure if that also includes if you check before your scheduled time. Working on a solution. I'll be glad to check your route for you. I have an April 21 date in the lottery. I have logged on...

I also just noticed they dropped max daily mileage from 17 to 16 miles. Why?

Re: 2024 Lottery Results

Paul, I suspect at least some Backpackers would be interested if there was a "clearing house" for unused intineraries. Stubhubis an example of a similar concept. I smell opportunity! zoezeppelin (and perhaps others) is probably already working on it. HA! Best regards, Scott Hah, thinking ...

Re: 2024 Lottery Results

Orin, yes can’t have your cake and eat it too! While I missed out on the easy option, I had an advantage last year with accessibility, fast internet, knowing what I wanted, etc. This way is more fair, similar to the original process, and hopefully some people who were unable to succeed in a free-for...

Re: 2024 Lottery Results

Agreed Scott and Paul - I didn’t even have an ‘unsuccessful’ option at first because I assumed there would be plenty based on past application numbers.

I asked the NPS and they said around 7000 applications ?!

That seems about right with 3000 available and 50% miss rate from our poll.

Re: 2024 Lottery Results

As a member of the unsuccessful club, I added it to the poll.

Apologies it looks like when I changed it, the results are wiped out, so please add again.

Just joined the "The solution you provided was incorrect" club! On a PM. I took awhile to write it, so perhaps a timeout? Although I wasn't prompted for credentials (nor captcha). Chrome.

Re: Backpacking between Granite Park Chalet and Sperry Chalet

I think you’re correct that you’ll struggle with the permitting system if you just try to grab MAN-REY-ELL or something like that due to the ‘can’t be the first or last day’ and ‘trips of more than X days’ constraints on MAN and REY, the system isn’t really setup for a hybrid itineraries, although ...
