Greetings from Yosemite National Park

My husband and I were taking his cousins from Norway to see Yosemite. When we drove up to the gate to pay our auto fee, we were told that if any of us was over 65 years of age that he or she qualifies for a lifetime pass at $10. Amazing!! This is definitely the best deal of growing older! We said when we returned home we would contribute.

Sincerely,
Larry & Marcia
