this is not an April Fool's joke is it??? I cant believe it.  No socsec
raise this year, CA state parks always beyond my means and gone much higher
too.  And what makes a concessionaire?  - we have a NFS campground on Mt
Piños, north of LA - no water either and still about $16 (there was a time
when no water service meant no fee!). and a concessionaire provides the
'camp host' .

this has to be fought, and NOW

what will we have left?  - free entry to Natl parks and Monuments?  - I dont
think so. Several years ago I was shocked at Mt Rushmore where they give
 'free entrance' but charge ~ $12 for the parking - and there is no other
option.

very distressed
