If you go to the park and apply for the pass, you get a receipt/ rain check for the $10 pass which is valid until you can get the plastic pass.
Scroll down to the section on Having Trouble Getting A Pass
Also note that the record number of passes from the online store was 33,000 in a year. So far in 2017 over 250,000 have been issued
(When we were campground hosts at a national park three years ago one of the permanent staff mentioned to me that the park had ordered 1,000 senior passes four or five years previously and had not issued half of them.
I was surprised that only about one in four seniors who camped in the CG had a pass. The others had not heard of it. )
Thank you for this info! I passed it on to one of out local parks who sent out a Facebook post saying they couldn't get any more passes. Hopefully this helps them, too! ;)
