[pct-l] Yosemite & HalfDome

[patrick griffith]

Hi All,
I am trying to work out the logistics of taking a side trip to Half Dome when I pass through Yosemite, but am confused by the permit webpage. The main problem at present is I won't know when to reserve a permit as that could be out by a few days if not weeks depending on trail condtions. Has anyone had this problem before, and know if there is a solution?
