OT: Senior Pass for National Parks getting huge increase

[merckxman]

There is mention in another thread about going into a national park for some riding. Note that the price of a senior pass is going from $10 to $80; senior pass is for 62 and over. The increase goes in effect August 28th. You must order or pickup in person before then to obtain the $10 rate. More details:

Like a postage stamp, it's still a great deal! Even more so, camping in a National Forest is free.

Good.

Could never get my head around the whole seniors discount thing.

Eeyyyyy.......we worked hard all our lives, now we're living on fixed incomes. Sheesh. 2% 30 year bonds, too. How are we supposed to buy bikes with that?

Respect your elders.

Yeah.

In fact, why do we even need those National Parks anyway? They should be sold off to the highest bidder and the proceeds used as Ryan Zinke sees fit. The National Monuments too.

There was a huge run on the senior passes so it is rare, if at all possible, to find a location to purchase them. They can be purchased online though.
