About the Lottery

This trip currently has a capacity limit of 8 participants. When the lottery runs, an initial population for the trip will be selected and placed on the cleared list by the lottery. Anyone not selected by the lottery will be placed on a waitlist. As participants withdraw or are removed from the cleared list (as always happens) during the following days, participants from the waitlist will be cleared to replace those who have withdrawn or been removed.

If you would like to bring a friend, partner, spouse, etc. on this trip, make sure that both of you include each other's names in the lottery preferences before the selection runs. Lottery preferences can be submitted here.
