A reasonable solution to my recent angst over park entry fees: America the Beautiful Annual National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Pass (http://www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm). For $80 this pass guarantees free entry to all national parks that otherwise require a fee. The pass does not, however, cover "Extended Amenity Fees" such as campgrounds. Looks like I'll have to determine more creative means to sleep in national parks. In any event, I plan to tally the money saved on entrance fee exemptions through the Annual Pass. How many national parks will I see from sea to shining sea?
Many.
Preparations nearly complete, leaving Wednesday (6/8/2011). For those of you who have signed the spreadsheet, especially East Coast city-dwellers and California Dreamers, anticipate a call from me soon.
