No doubt, since the daily entrance fee to the Grand Canyon is up to $30/car now.

 

That is nice. I wonder if they accept id10t forms?

 

Yes! In this case, you take your application to the GAS station behind the maintenance shed.

 

Gents, this is a useful notice and as such I'd like to see it stay up.

However I've had to delete 3 posts already for diving into politics and if it happens again I will lock the thread.

There are infinite places to discuss politics on the web but this ain't one of them.

Thanks,

Frank

 

Sorry, it's still a good thing.

Thanks for the information. I purchased the Military Life card on line, $10.00. I found the site a little difficult to navigate, but got it done.

 

Is that the USGS site? We were just looking at it it said 'kit' for 10 bucks so that was confusing.

 

I normally just go to Mt. Rainier NP Paradise gate and get one every year. Since I got medically retired the things that become available for vets are pretty cool. If your 90% or more disabled like me you can apply for special hunting permits, camping spots, parking spots, fishing licenses, help with school for your kids, and the list goes on.

 

Yes, it is. I wish I could tell you how I got to the right area, but I had to go through so many sub-sites I'm not sure.

 

Its parts of the test we must navigate the milspec complexicator.

 

Something I just learned, Veterans can get a free Lifetime Pass to the National Parks, just go to a nearby park office and show your VIC or DD214 and they will issue you a Lifetime Pass, good for you along with everyone else in your vehicle.

Hardly for Free, a small Thank you for our Freedom👍

 

Awesome! Going to make this happen.

 

Several years ago our son went to the Carlsbad Caverns with us and he had his veteran's pass which would cover all of us. Upon presenting it the park employee told him it was expired. I stared digging for money when the employee told him it was no problem as he could just renew it for him and quickly did so. Now he is 100% diabled and I don't believe anything expires for him now.

 

Not a resident of NM like you eh?

 

I bought a lifetime pass in 2008, for 10 bucks, will cover a CARLOAD of grandkids too!
