I'm taking my kids (5,7,10,13) back up to May Lake. We had a great time with walkup permits last summer for both May Lake and Ten Lakes (though we didn't make it all the way up). I've never done the 6-month advanced permits through the lottery. We nailed 6 spots at May Lake for Father's day weekend but it was already passed the 168 days so there wasn't a lottery.
Can I sign up for the lottery anytime before 168 days or do I have sign up right at 168 days? We're thinking some time in August or September.
