I was trying to share the trip planning videos with my trip partner last night and I noticed the link in the email that recreation.gov sent me when I reserved are no longer working. I click on the link Visiting the Superior National Forest - BWCAW Part 1 in the email and I get an error that says this - "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." Anybody else have this or is just me.

The link in my email did not work just now either.

Just have your partner go to the site https://www.recreation.gov/permits/233396 and click on "Need to Know" and scroll down to the links there. All 3 worked just now.

Yeah I saw there was a workaround. Just wasn't sure if you had to watch them through that link like somehow then the forest service would know you watched:-)

I hadn't thought about that and I'm not sure. They may just be tracking leaders
[and alternates]. There may be clarification on the FS site; if not you can email them. It may take a day or two, but you'll get a response, which may or may not be conclusive. I ultimately decided to pick mine up in person rather than virtually and do not have a trip partner so wasn't concerned about that.

Interestingly, I have discovered that the link that did not work was in an email titled "Trip Planning Video - Required". The link in my "Confirmation" email does work.
