For almost six years, I had diligently entered a monthly online lottery, to try and secure an elusive permit to visit 'The Wave' in Arizona. And every month during those six years, I received a polite email thanking me for my participation in the lottery process, while reminding me that I was yet again, a loser! In February of 2019, I decided to take a road trip to Kanab, Utah, to try my luck at the walk-in lottery - I entered the walk-in lottery on a daily basis, and on the third day of trying, I finally won a coveted permit, to hike to 'The Wave'.
