Re: [A/S] travel bargain

In response to Terry's reply on travel bargains - on advice from a listee, we 
purchased a Texas camping pass (Conservation Pass, I think it was called) for 
$50 on a recent trip.  We then could enter any Texas State park with no 
additional user fee.  We did pay for camping but the cost was half what a 
commercial campground would charge, W & E included and showers were available 
and most of the parks were in great places, away from traffic and railroad 
tracks with spacious sites. As an added bonus, you can purchase a passport 
for $1, get it stamped each night and get a free night with a two day stay 
after 4 nights on the road. Buying this pass caused us to plan our trip a bit 
differently than usual, but the rewards were great.  I spent a weekat 
Galveston Island State Park at the beach for very little money just a few 
steps away from the surf. We also used our Golden Age pass (or whatever it is 
called) at Big Bend, Bandelier in NM and Great Sand Dunes in CO - this last 
was magnificent, BTW, if you have not been there.
