Hi Steve,
Regarding this comment in your post:
And don't believe the numbers for available permits for September. The unused numbers page gives you a far better picture of what will be available.
I gather then you are saying that the history of unused permits would imply a very good chance (say 90%+) of picking up a day hike permit on some Sat in Sep - and hence I do not need to wait all the way to mid Oct?
