I should get confirmation in mail on dates I had chosen soon for my wilderness permit, based on other hikers past experience. Hopefully this week. I applied as a single hiker. I often wonder how many groups of 15 are chosen, which obviously takes a lot of single or double hikers out of the mix. My dates were during the the last two weeks of June (might need crampons)weekdays only, and 3 weekdays in Sept. during second week. I live in Delaware. Assuming the NJ is Jersey!
