RE: Day Use Fees
Ellen, I think you have summed it all up very well.  And I agree with you, a
$5 a day Use fee is a bargain compared a lot of activities.  No objection at
all to for taking the family to a grassy lakeside for a picnic and swimming,
etc.  But what happened previously in Washington was the $5 "Day Use Fee"
was being applied to parking lots at vista point/lookouts!!  And the rangers
playing 'Gotcha!' with the tickets.  As I said before, they dropped that
program a couple of years ago.  I'm waiting to see how this new permit
system is implemented.
