Hey Mark,
Thanks for responding. I agree with your points by the way, thought about that as well. I have to check with the wifey but I might be interested in your extra overnight permit if you were offering it up as I interpreted. With my group backing out I was thinking about doing a training hike on the 28th and showing up to try and get an unclaimed permit in late July or early August. I would much rather know that I have one. My pace is usually moderate (not trying to break any records)but I don't mind going a little slower or speeding it up. If I'm honest I usually hike alone as I like to take my time but I still set some time and location milestones so I reach my location for the day. Let me know if that sounds ok to you, no hard feelings if not.
