And Paddy, I'm wondering if your original plan was to get a permit for that same day? Was the next day what you ended up with, or was that the plan was all along? At 10am, that same day's permits that haven't been picked up or that have been cancelled become available. That's usually not so lucky if you're trying to be specific. At 11, that's when the next day's permits open up for application. Just so you know, in a lot of years or doing this, I have never not gotten the permit I was after, especially if I was willing to take it for the next day, which is always the way I do it anyhow...always during the week, never the weekend.
Lines are just a fact of life in Yosemite. It's up to over 5 million visitors a year now, and more and more of them are starting to backpack.

I can give you 4-5 day routes all over the place that range anywhere from a stroll in the woods to a death march from Hell. What kind of shape are you in and experience do you guys have?
