How are people getting there permits these days? Ranger station inside, or drop box outside, or email?

Also, I have a single person permit for 9/14, but would like to hike with someone (was going to fast pack as a practice for a harder event, but not it's going to be more relaxed). How hard is it to score a permit for one, for a Monday in mid September and when do they pop up (when do you start looking for them?). I guess I should have gotten a two person permit like I usually do.

Visitor centers are issuing all permits by phone and email for the 2020 season. No walk up service.

Check in before the no show deadline (10am) on your entry date.
Print and sign the permit to carry on the trail.
To request your permit by Email (allow 2 days for processing)
