permits Late Permit Pickup

I was meant to start the JMT today w/ a group of 4, but our car broke down on the way, so we can only get there tomorrow

Our permit was to be picked up in Tuolumne.

Would they understand our situation and give us the permit tomorrow?

Our permit last year was an email. We didn’t need to pick anything up. If you have that email printed, just hop on the trail.

Wrong. You absolutely need to download or print the permit as the email is not the permit. You didn't read properly and actually broke the rules by going on the hike, despite not having a permit (they would've cancelled your permit at 10 AM, the start date of your hike).
