Update regarding Golden Age Passes

In January, we posted that the USDA Forest sevice was going to significantly change the fee structure for Golden Agers. Recently, they announced they will NOT implement those changes. Below is an excerpt from that decision.

-------------------------

WASHINGTON, March 17, 2010--USDA Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell announced today his decision not to implement proposed changes to fees charged to holders of passes at Forest Service campgrounds operated by private businesses. The Chief's decision means Seniors and people with disabilities will continue to receive a discount at Forest Service campgrounds run by private concessions.
