Are you suggesting we hobble the OP so he can get disability discounts? Tough room.

ps: finally got an office to answer, ... said they are going up in the fall, yes, can have as many as you want, ....

to followup from my previous post, ..... yesterday I did get a second "America The Beautiful/Senior Pass" for a spare, ..... the lady did say the price will go up later this year to $80, and that there's nothing about buying a second one that will invalidate the previous one, so a person can have as many as they wish, ..... now if I can just store it in a place that I won't forget where it is!! ..........

Yes it's a very good idea to have second one. I've got my first one today. That card will belong to senior who found it if you lost it.

Are you trying state and county parks? They're less than $40 a night.

But that is not included in Holidays or weekend camping, those restrictions are not negotiable so if your looking for weekends and Holidays you have to pay more.
