Thanks Steve. I understand how this works now.

However, it would make sense to me to make the declined slots and the unclaimed slots all available at the same time, like on May 1st. This way you would know all the remaining options you are dealing with in order to get the best reservation time you want from whats left, instead of having the declined slots come available throughout April and the unclaimed/unpaid ones after May 1.

skylerdharkins, I understand what you are saying.

I am not sure why they do it the way it is, but I think they are trying to steer clear of the stampede situations where hundreds (or thousands?) of people are sitting at their computers watching the clock tick, ready to hit their key at exactly the right time to get the ideal permit.

Maybe someone will write an app that will watch the rec.gov site and email you when a specific permit type and date comes available. You can do that on ebay and craigslist. wink
