Senior pass to increase cost

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Have to admit the current cost is way too good to be true haha. Thus a token increase is reasonable considering...lifetime.
Plus I already have one as it is just a concern for you younguns reaching the bar.
:D

But if you get a lifetime pass before the change is implemented, it will cost only $10.

Actually I have 2, thought I lost one, so bought another, now I have one in reserve if I do lose one, that is if I can find the one in reserve!

I keep mine in my truck, along with the state parks pass, fire permit, AAA card, and gas station loyalty cards. Less to carry in my wallet and I only use them when I am with my truck.

80 bucks a pop, I think you'll be more likely to remember it(them)!

Our memory goes to pot too as we get old. That is why we forget our cards.
