Free Days at National Parks

This is about something I remember from just after 9/11...a that time there was a free national parks day announced for Veterans Day weekend.. I spent the day at Zion National Park... it wasn't crowded, and was very enjoyable. The Park Service has just announced the 'free days' for 2011.

If you have a chance, take some time and discover the parks. It will give you a respite from this crazy world and let you renew your spirit.

p.s. Also, if you are 62 or older, you can obtain a lifetime free pass for $10. It is the Senior Pass. If you have a handicapped hanging tag or some other evidence of disability they have a free pass for you too.

Wow, I'm close to a lifetime free pass.

Someone spoke last night at Toastmasters about the importance of nature and being outside and using our parks 365 days a year. Yes!

It is great to ride up to the entrance and be waved through.
