I unfortunately wasn't successful with the lottery. After learning my other options to get a permit, why wouldn't recreation.gov lump both the unclaimed reservations with the cancelled reservations and have them all be available on April 30th? It seems like the scenario could come up that on April 1st, I claim a permit for, say, a Tuesday, because I don't think I would get anything else, then someone cancels their reservation at the 11th hour and it doesn't show up until after the April 30th date. They should just put all the available reservations together at one time. Am I understanding this correctly?
