I had a nice talk with Cindy. She told me that I didn't accidentally buy too many permits because the system was designed so it would kick-out unnecessary permits from the "shopping cart." So when I bought 2 overnight permits with a departure date several days later the system did not let me buy the unnecessary overnight permits I attempted to buy for the second night on the mountain. That's great! So, now I just need to keep working the website looking for one more cancellation for an overnight permit beginning on July 7 for my friend and I will do that. Cindy was very nice and helpful. Thank you all for helping me navigate these waters. Sara
