The 'proposed' change for the Senior Pass is $80 for a LIFETIME. There hasn't been an increase since the 70's. It's way past due and this is truly a bargain.
How much do you pay for a special evening out with dinner and a concert? How about a professional sports game; amusement park; even a movie for two and dinner?
I really don't understand comments saying that the parks aren't for 40' rigs. They're for everyone. We have fit in many national parks just fine with the 40' motorhome such as Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Big Bend, etc. We can easily do without hookups. We don't watch television. We're outdoors hiking and siteseeing. To categorize all those with big rigs as needing hookups isn't correct. When not in a national park or other public park you would find us boondocking. There are many like us out there.
For anyone complaining about the condition of our parks you need to try volunteering in the parks to see behind the scenes. As rangers say, "our parks are being loved to death". There are many people that trash the parks in many awful ways. These parks take an enormous amount of money just to keep up day to day. The infrastructure is very old.
