Worth the wait...

This last weekend was an important one for us, because when we entered the park through the Big Oak Flat entrance station, I was able to show his ID and purchase a Senior Pass for $10.

According to the USGS store that sells them:
A Senior Pass is a $10.00 lifetime pass that provides access to more than 2,000 recreation sites managed by five Federal agencies, with up to 100% of the proceeds being used to improve and enhance visitor recreation services.

It allows me (and anyone with me) to enter any National Park in the USA for free. Plus it qualifies me for discounts on other costs like campground fees. Very cool.

Here’s a link to the FAQs about the Senior Pass. Spread the word.

Don't be jealous. You are likely a few years behind some of us in making your final exit. It used to gall the heck out of me to pay $25 for the 2 hr use of Yellowstone roadway from Gardiner to Silvergate, MT so we could hit the Beartooth's. The geezer pass is really nice.
