Got Em!

Today at 7AM Pacific time the permits to hike Yosemite's Half Dome during May and June went on sale. There were only 300 permits available per date (you don't need a permit Monday-Thursday) so I knew there was going to be a mad rush to secure tickets. I didn't want to get screwed out of this hike so last night I set my alarm for 6:40AM, woke up early, logged in to the government website that handles the permits, got everything ready to go and then stared at the time for the next 20 minutes waiting for the clock to strike 7. Luckily, I was able to snag 4 passes (the max allowed) so it's a done deal, but when I refreshed the page at 7:02 all 300 were gone! Like the old saying goes... If you snooze, you loose!
The Final Part Is The Sketchiest!
