I wonder how many of the people here complaining about the state of the National Parks are using reduced rate passes vs. the $80 annual pass, and taking advantage of the 50% discount on camping.
Discounts for seniors and the disabled mean less money to be used in the parks, yet the vehicles they drive have the same impact on the roads and their RV's occupy the same amount of space that a "full price" visitor's would...
And I wonder if you were permanently disabled as a result of serving your country and no longer able to earn the same money you used to / could have if you would mind paying “full price” to see your country and have a little R & R with your family?
Freedom is not free, and those that enjoy it are rarely the ones who pay for it.
