Extra fee for a youyou in tow.

I think I have at least once but can't remember for sure. I remember that the person at a state park in the upper mid-West insisted that we had to pay an entrance fee for both vehicles. I had a non-resident annual pass sticker on the toad's windshield. I asked if they charged separately for a truck and for the trailer that the truck was towing. The person said no. I think the person relented, but maybe I still had to pay. At other parks in that state I had no argument.

I think that is crazy, do they expect you to walk everywhere?

And I did figure out youyou just from the context.

Paying extra for a second vehicle makes sense to me.

A few years ago, we parked in a state park in Nebraska, just off I80. Paid camp fee for motorhome AND $10.00 for the car we pulled. Never stayed at a state park in Nebraska again.

In Kansas Parks anything that has a gas engine and wheels has to have a park sticker $$$ Friends used to bring a couple of mopeds along ... now each has to have an annual sticker so they leave them at home. On any turnpike, they charge by number of axles on pavement ... just throwing out comparisions while adding to my vocabulary.

Do you have a youyou, youroo??



(sorry.. couldn't resist! )

LOL! Did anyone ever actually respond about the cost of the youyou, TOAD, Dingy, car on the back of the RV? 10.50 Canadian per day is just rediculous, and as the OP pointed out you aren't out driving both of them at the same time. Like the poster that asked if the TV and TT were charged separately... DO NOT give them any ideas!

[Rangerdrvr59]

:H aHaHa:

[Delco Bobby]

My initial thoughts were...

1. A tiny trailer like used to carry bikes or scooters.

2. A loo loo as in the Btitish loo; I don't know if the Canadians have loos.

3. Another way of saying poopoo but identifying the doodoo doer.

3. A yooroo youyou. Sasquatch?

Now, back o my lunch.

If I understand this thread, hauling two motorcycles in an open trailer would require paying two extra entrance fees. If I have a toy hauler and bring them into the park inside (and out of sight) will they insist on my opening the rig to "inspect it" for contraband vehicles?

One thing lost here...

The parks along the St Lawrence are absolutely beautiful. Camping right next to the river and seeing all the Ships moving trade is pretty neat way to pass a day while camping. It is also a historic site.

[NewEncounter]

B and B is right. The different parks along the St. Lawrence river offer a magnificient view, but not all parks will charge extra for a dinghy. Only the Parks of the St. Lawrence, a government of Ontario organization, do at this time.

The only way to get things to change is to boycott the places that unfairly or over charge like this.

Hit them in the pocketbook. Bucking up and paying only encourages this behavior.

325BH, I agree with you, but since this is a minority that tow a dinghy it would have no impact. I will boycot the Parks of the St. Lawrence parks as I found other parks along the river that offer similar views with no extra for a dinghy.

This is probably mute, but this decision to charge extra seems to come from a misinterpretation of the original rule for 1 vehicle per site. Probably came from a government official deciding to apply the rule without finding out why in the past a dinghy was not considered a second vehicle.

Being a provincial park, good luck with the boycott, they got us up the youyou 😳

I'm from Alberta and would love to see that part of my country, this is on my bucket list when I retire when I'm 80 lol

[NewEncounter]

Folks good news from The St. Lawrence Park authorities. They have admitted that a dinghy/toad should not be charged a fee. They have even reimbursed the fee I had paid. I am quite happy about this and will surely go back to the parks very soon.
