After your full recovery, we need to celebrate with a ski/snowboard trip or fishing trip.

I turned 62 this year and bought mine for the $80 + $10. I look forward to using it.

I thought the increase was originated by the previous administration.

"With President Obama having signed the National Park Service Centennial Act into law, the price of a senior pass to the national parks, good for your lifetime, will soon jump to $80. If you're 62 or older and don't yet have your pass, buy it now before the price increases."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/09/01/obama-proposes-15-billion-national-parks/71533586/

"The Obama administration sent to Congress a $1.5 billion proposal to upgrade national parks Tuesday, using a combination of tax money, fee increases, donations and commercial partnerships for a three-year improvement plan marking the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service."

"Those improvements would be funded, in part, by increasing the cost of a lifetime pass for senior citizens. People aged 62 and older now pay $10 for the lifetime pass, which would be raised to $80. The remaining $70 would help fund a $300 million National Park Service Second Century Fund. The proposal would also add 5% to the cost of camping or lodging in national parks."

Ski Pro 3 -- Jerry:
Glad I didn't buy my pass and can take advantage of the Vet free access. I have my California driver license now embossed as a Vet and that is acceptable. Also, El Dorado County VA center issues a Vet ID card I use at Home Depot. 10% off everything. Works great! They tell me thank you for your service and I tell them I was honored to have been given the privilege to serve.
