Just when I think I have it figured out, I get confused again...

So I followed the link https://www.recreation.gov/permits/233262/registration/detailed-availability specifically for North Fork of Lone Pine Creek, but looking at all of them.

First, what is the difference between "Overnight" and "Overnight Exiting Mt Whitney"?

2nd, I see some numbers, as some marked W. I assume W (Walkup) is what happens when the number remaining reservable goes to 0. (This is a little confusing compared to how other parts of recreation.gov works)

I also don't understand numbers I see, for example "Overnight Exiting Mt Whitney" on Thursday June 23 with shows W for every entry point, but the adjacent Wednesday and Friday show lots of availability. Is Thursday really that popular for some reason?

Finally the "Next 5 Days" button skips 14 days in the future, which just adds to the confusion. (Not a question, just me complaining. smile )
