We have a permit for July 12th. Thank you for posting. I had no idea. Called the Whitney permit office and they confirmed they are closed today and to call tomorrow. It seems the fire is 2,000 acres and 0% contained. This is the second time I tried to go and both times it didn't happen. The first time, I tore a tendon and had a surgery and now a fire. Both valid reasons, so trusting in God and glad we found out now versus driving up there.
