Senior Pass!

[balzaccom]

This last weekend was an important one for us, because when we entered the park through the Big Oak Flat entrance station, I was able to show his ID and purchase a Senior Pass for $10.

According to the USGS store that sells them:

A Senior Pass is a $10.00 lifetime pass that provides access to more than 2,000 recreation sites managed by five Federal agencies, with up to 100% of the proceeds being used to improve and enhance visitor recreation services.

It allows me (and anyone with me) to enter any National Park in the USA for free. Plus it qualifies me for discounts on other costs like campground fees. Very cool.

Here’s a link to the FAQs about the Senior Pass. Spread the word.

Yup, I got one, funny story, I do a relay race around Lake Tahoe every year, the first Saturday in June. On Sunday several of us head down to Yosemite and usually Glen Aulin/LeConte. Well I saw the Senior Pass deal and pulled out my license(63 at the time). I just happen to have a very nice looking 40ish female team member with me in my Corvette. The guy at the entrance station looks at me, looks at her then the car, and says to me, "Is this license real?" being a somewhat quick wit, I said" Not really,I had it made up so I can get into bars and Yosemite without any hassles " I got my Pass
