US Forest Service campgrounds
Sorry, this is a bit of a rant, but I also have a question.
In my explorations of fire trails and dirt roads within my home county, I've come across rustic federal campgrounds that demand payment. One thing that caught my eye, the fee signs say "NO CHECKS"!
Since when is the United States Government a cash-only business?
I imagine the local ranger stations don't want to deal with rubber checks, but Uncle Sam is hardly a small business lacking the resources to deal with such things.
Has anyone paid one of these campgrounds with a check, and has Uncle Sam contacted you about it?
Since it's just a drop-box and there is no provision for change, if I ever stay in one of these, they'll be getting a check, same kind I use to pay my self employment tax four times a year and income tax every April.
