I guess I thought the $80 bucks would be a strain on many to see each of our park. Yes in the past most of the cost came out of the general fund so it wasn't noticed as much. I also thought they belonged to all of us but then again that was before they decided to do oil and mineral exploration on the land set aside for future generations.
I can agree one thing , we do not use our parks as much as foreigners do. I've been to most parks and the amount of Germans, Italian and Japanese is amazing. The younger ones go there at the end of their Visas because they can.
