> I'm guessing someone was lucky enough to "win" two slots, accepted one and rejected the other

In running a pre-lottery test run, I saw where once a single application was successful, all the others for the person were cancelled, even though there were more slots available for the other applications.

Nobody can log in and cancel as of yet -- that also starts April 1, and cancelled slots will show up within 24 hours of the cancellation at random times.

The Inyo staff who send me updates indicated there had already been some cancellations. I'm not sure how that occurs -- maybe someone calling the wilderness permit office or something.

Anyway, 9 PM March 31 (Sunday night) is your "Tee Time". (Please let us know how that works out.)

Edit, more info: In order to correspond with telephone availability, the April 1 opening is set to start at 10 AM Eastern Time. However, things don't always run as promised, so I would definitely be checking on Sunday night.
