Oh, so again, we should limit access to who can view/visit/enjoy these peaks to the elite. That makes real sense in my world. No one likes nature more than me, but according to your rules/laws (which take more taxpayer money to enforce) I cannot enjoy this experience. Thank you for deciding that for me.

How is that limiting access? The last time I went to Olympic National Park they, the feds, wanted $50 dollars just to enter. I turned around and drove away. My personal choice. I went down to the beach instead.

If you have a hobby you should expect to pay for that hobby! If you can't afford to pay for it, I and every other taxpayer shouldn't have to give you the money for it!!!

So let me get this straight:

1) if your gas tank is empty and you want to climb, I need to pay that...

2) after I pay for you gas, you discover that your rope needs replaced, I need to pay for that...

3) after I pay for your gas and your rope and you drive to to the widerness area and discover tbat the cost to climb has gone from $50 for park fees plus a new bond of say $250, which would go into the mountain rescue fund, I would have to pay for that too..

Where does this cycle end? You know one of the reasons I quit chewing tobacco and smoking was the cost. But I still enjoy fine AMERICAN made wines so would you buy me my next case so I can feel good about myself??
