Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Half Dome 2013

Hmm, I got a message saying I had a successful lottery entry. Which I plan to do a few days after Whitney. Then I got this e-mail this morning.

Dear Valued Recreation.Gov Visitor,

Email notifications for our 2013 Pre-Season Cables on Half Dome lottery process were delivered prematurely and prior to completion of the verification process. In addition, your notice also contained inaccurate policy and fee information. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

Updated notifications, including accurate and current policy, additional permit validation terms and conditions and fee information, will be sent out on Monday, April 15, 2013. Until then you will not be able to check your lottery status or make adjustments to your account on Recreation.Gov or through the call center.

We appreciate your patience and suggest you check your Recreation.Gov account on April 15, 2013, for the final notification of your lottery application. At that time all successful applicants will be able to accept and complete the validation process for their permit and make adjustments to their account.

Thank you,
Recreation.Gov

Hopefully everyone that got these did indeed win a slot.

I also got the same email! First one said I was successful at winning the lottery and than a few days later I received the one you posted. We were all so excited we received a permit and would hate to be let down now

The way I read your notice, it appears to me that your first notification contained some info or wording that needs changing in the "policy" area. I doubt it has anything to do with your actual permit date.

I am curious as to what wording will be changed. It would be fun to see the differences, if any of you cares to post the old and new versions.
