Thanks for this! I'm curious: if an overnighter snags a MWMT weekday permit at 11am for same day of entry, that's a pretty quick turnaround to drive up to the portal, hit the trail, then hump it up to outpost camp (or preferably Trail Camp) to set up camp before dark, make dinner, hydrate etc. Am I reading this right?
Doable I suppose--I summited with my two older kids last August and hope to make a return trip someday--but at 60 years old and carrying a full pack (plus an added 40 lbs of body weight I would pledge to lose before the next trip!) I'm moving slower than I would like....
