would you pay $41 to enter a National Park?
I am calling BS on this story. Read it and the implication is that folks would be okay with an 80% increase in entrance fees if it ensured they would see a bear Article

If you are not aware of it, the fees for National Parks access goes directly to Washington and into the general budget.
Completely wrong. 80% of fees stay with the park in which they were received. The rest goes to the National Park Service as a whole to be used as needed (such as in parks with no fees).
Also,it is not $25 per day per person as the article states. It is $25 per car for 7 days. If you have 4 people in your car, it works out to 89 cents per day per person for the entrance fee. Try to go anywhere else in the country for that.
