A little surprised–first, to get confirmation just a few days after we faxed it in. Second, to get exactly the days and sites we requested.
Going with my wife and 13 year old daughter–first time they've hiked this many days in a row. Will be the second time I've hiked the full WT, although the first time was almost ten years ago with traditional gear and pack weight.
8 days 7 nights, clockwise, starting at Fryingpan Creek Trailhead, 27 July-3 August.

Curious… How did they let you know of your success? email? phone, snail mail or pony express?

For me, once I saw that they charged my card, I knew I had a permit.

Snail mail–"date issued" is the day after I faxed the request.Not sure the NPS has heard of email yet.

This year will be my first spin around the Wonderland. I found out on Friday that my group got a permit. Sure enough, snail mail. I sent in so many alternates that I don't even remember what my first choices were! We're going second week of September, 6 days, clockwise from Longmire.
