America the Beautiful passport.

I drove down to St Augustine yesterday and picked up an america the beautiful pass for national parks. The price goes from $10 to $80 at the end of the month. What a jump in cost. Anyway if you are 62 or over buy it before the end of the month.

  • "What a jump in cost" A long overdue adjustment. Still a good deal for seniors but is it fair to younger Americans?

    "You can get them by mail, too but the sobs charge a $10 processing fee." And who doesn't charge a processing fee for tickets etc. Who should pay for that processing? Younger Americans? Name calling doesn't help in the discussion of government activities.
  • And if you're not eligible for the lifetime senior pass quite yet, take heart, you'll be able to "finance" the new $80 one time fee by buying a newly created annual senior pass for $20. Once you've bought 4 annual passes (hang on to them!), you can trade them in for the lifetime pass.
  • Canaveral Seashore was out last week. You can get them by mail, too but the sobs charge a $10 processing fee.
