So I'm looking at recreation.gov and notice most days and most entry permits have zero availability. Then I notice 11 permits available for Fall Lake on Aug 23!!

What's with that date... no one wants to leave on National Cuban Sandwich Day??

LOL, who would want to miss out on Cuban sandwich day!? Actually looks like Mondays and Tuesdays are not very popular days on some of those big entry points. Guess that tells you where the weekend warriors like to hang out :)

This sounds like someone got caught reserving all the permits on one day in order to increase the chances of finding a campsite open. The permit system finally figured it out and cancelled all the duplicate permits.

Actually Fall Lake has quite a few days with availability - and not just 1 or 2 permits - if you look earlier and later.

I don't think it's the most popular entry . . .

I may actually take one of those Aug 23 permits. I just noticed Cuban Sandwich Day marked on my calendar. So I'll either go canoeing or make a sandwich.
