[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1372630, member: 11508"] The National Park Senior Pass that many of us love so much--you know, the one that costs a one-time $10 fee and is good for free admission to all national parks forever? (Half price camping in NFS campgrounds, too.) Starting August 28, 2017, it's taking a little price bump. [B][I]700 PERCENT![/I][/B] That's right, a $60 jump for the same benefits. Now, that's [I][B]still [/B][/I]not a [I]bad [/I]deal; I know in the, umm, [I]several [/I]years I've had mine, I've saved over a thousand bucks easy. Hell, I've taken single trips where I used it at 8 or 10 times, and the price of admission to these parks is usually 25 or 30 bucks. Even for motorcycles it ranges from $15 to $25, depending on how popular the park is. Still, if you're eligible now, or will be before 8/28, don't wait. Once you have it, you keep it--no retroactive increase. You can get it at any park that charges admission, or you can send for one by mail, though the article I saw said there will be a long delay--maybe months--if you do that. Good excuse to take a ride.
