$25 for a 7-day pass for my private auto to Yellowstone national park!

Yeah, as long as we ignore that little matter of double taxation. Once to steal the property from the US taxpayer, then again to have the govt's permission to use it.

Real cool!

Don't be stupid. Yellowstone was a part of the Wyoming Territory (it was also a part of the Montana Territory) when it was created by act of Congress in 1872 - 18 years before Wyoming was admitted to the Union in 1890 - and therefore belonged to the federal government lock, stock, and barrel. As such, the federal government could do with it as it pleased. It stole nothing from no-one (except, of course, the natives who were there beforehand - depending on your views on history).
