I don't consider the parking fees excessive at Mt. Rushmore. People pay more than that for a couple of drinks and think nothing of it. I don't understand why people think that everything should be covered for life because of a free senior citizen pass or $80 yearly pass. RVing is an expensive hobby or lifestyle. Accept that and get the wallet out.
No thanks, I can tell you we don't pay that much for a couple of drinks, but we don't drink alcoholic beverages. And I do not want to pay $13 for something I don't really want to see in the first place. Last time I went was to take my youngest son who had not been to the place, everyone should see it once I guess.
And my main objection to the parking fees is that the NPS is trying to make you pay for something that Congress has said we do not have to pay for. It's well known that the NPS intensely dislikes all of the passes.
As for expecting 'stuff' for free, I paid in to the tax system for 40+ years plus buying park passes. I finally got a Interagency Access Pass based on VA disability rating so I certainly paid the hard way for that pass. And no I'm not looking for sympathy..heaven forfend.
