Wendy, unless the policy has changed this year (and I don't think it has), when you go to pick up your permit, you have to actually be the person who reserved it, and they ask for ID.

So, it is not as simple as a agreed swap, where you show up to pick up another person's permit.

Sorry for the bad news.

Entry trail: Main Mt. Whitney trail
Exit trail: Main Mt. Whitney trail
Group size: 2

My husband and I went through the original lottery process back in February (including filling out nine alternative dates), did not get our dates, then went through the re-opening process on April 28th. I spent all morning on the phone re-dialing and finally got through and was issued a remaining spot on 9/14/10.

I start back to nursing school the day prior and cannot make this date. We would love to trade someone with an earlier date, preferably a weekday in August or September, but at this point we would take any day of the week.

Thanks for any considerations!
