NPS Senior Pass

My own opinion here: I pass on most, if not all, Senior and Vet discounts because I can afford to pay now. When I was a young, newly married, low wage earning, first home buying, and first child father, I could have used the discounts then. If you can afford an RV and related travel expenses, you don't need the discounts. And the discounts you receive are paid by the young guy I just described above. But, like I said, that's just my opinion. ;)

I take advantage of every discount I can get and just want to say thanks to you for supplementing my lifestyle. :B

Deleted. Wrong thread.

As stated, she will get in if she's in the vehicle with you and your pass. However, keep in mind that if she goes out of the park for something like grocery shopping and tries to come back in free, she can't do it on your pass if you're not with her.

Senior pass allows bearer and all vehicle occupants access, but there is a limit (6 or 8) on how many. Some sites that charge per person only allow discounts for the bearer. And like many other things, it usually depends on the interpetation at each individual site.

I use these two and everybody knows I am a real old f---. And fully entitled to be cranky whenever I feel like it.

mine says senior pass and has a picture of RED colored cactus flowers
i was 62 or 63, can't remember

i do remember it was a Sept trip to Sequoia where the wife had never been before

Not disputing what you are saying, but after working at NPS, and selling several hundred passes, AND reading the official documents to the Park center, you are saying almost exactly what I did. And I do, and still have access to, the facts(documents) as given to the vendors, instead of just what is on the internet. If you get it now, its $10, later, its gonna cost $80, or $20 per year. Other than that, I really don't care because I have mine, and DW has one also.

re $80.00 per year vs lifetime..... I'm only quoting what the campground host who sold me mine .. told me. Hope he was wrong and you are right.
