Golden Eagle National Park Pass

When we pulled up to the entrance of Yaquina Head Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area, the attendant asked if we had a Golden Eagle Pass and I said "no, but we'd like to get one." I told her that Rick was close to the age to get one. She asked to look at his ID and agreed that he was close enough. We really thought we'd have to wait until he was actually old enough to get one, but she may have gotten extra credit for selling us the Pass. We're glad that she agreed because it was a great benefit to us. Instead of paying $5 to get into this one area, we paid $10 for the lifetime pass and can get into National Parks like Yellowstone and Glacier for FREE! Free is good! We plan to spend many days at these parks, and I'm sure there will be many others now that it's FREE! It's a coincidence that the picture on the card is almost exactly like some of the cactus photos I've taken in our own yard.

I'll share our visit to the Yaquina Lighthouse tomorrow.

(disclaimer: Rick thinks that he may be questioned the next time we try to use it since he's not really old enough to have it yet. We'll test it soon and I'll let you know.)
