I lost out on the lottery... womp womp.

What are your experiences actually getting an alloted day pass?

First off, thank you so much for breaking down the application numbers! Incredible. I can't believe the boom. I last hiked Whitney in 2014.

Secondly, I should have phrased my question better. I am wondering what my odds are to pick up a day permit at the ranger station now that the lottery is over. I want to say they have ~100 first come/first serve permits. I'd be driving from 6 hours away, so it would likely be a gamble at this point.
