Bill in Congress to increase Senior park pass to $80
Link Probably a good time to get yours just incase.
Forum Discussion
My first thoughts... NO, NO ,NO
Then reading some of the bill...
"H.R. 4680 adjusts the price of the lifetime America the Beautiful Senior Pass from $10 to $80, while including the option of a $20 annual pass. The revenue raised from the adjusted cost will be directed to the National Park Centennial Challenge Fund to finance signature projects across the National Park System. This has the potential to be an important new revenue source for NPS."
Then looking at those projects, maybe good, maybe not? By the way only two sponsors so far.
