Has anybody received conformation yet?

No, but I got confirmation, yuck yuck,
oh, go ahead and laugh, smile too, it's good for you!!

Let me correct Confirmation for Conformation.

I didn't receive e-mail confirmation about permits but I did check on recreation.gov and I did not get a permit this year. However, I believe there is a glitch because the site stated that I requested a single date and did not state I had 9 alternative dates.

What sucks is that there are no more walk in reservations any more.

Phycon, I commiserate with you. I also didn't get any day permits even with 11 alternate dates. With a computer lottery, you have to game the system. The more times you pay $6, the more chances you have of being selected. And as you noted, there are glitches in the program because there is no disclosure of errors. I asked to know the criteria for the selection process and I just got a form E Mail.
