Originally posted by reeftool When you get to Yellowstone, make sure to get the senior National Park Lifetime Pass. $10 bucks and it's good at all National Parks and Recreation Areas. It's available to anyone over the age of 62.
Enjoy life! You earned it!
I already have one. I got it a few years ago at Antietam Battlefield. When we were taking family trips some years ago I always got a Golden Eagle pass. It saved me a lot of money, Another way to save money is to get an annual membership in your local museum. There is a membership association that will get you into a ton of museums across the country for free if they are members of it. I always leave money in the donations box, but if you are strapped for cash it is a great deal.
The one thing I want to do but the wife won't let me is to sell the house and get an RV. The savings in property taxes alone would pay for gas for a year. So now I am working on getting her to move to Idaho Falls. This plan got a lot more complicated when one of my sons moved back to NY with his wife and kids. Grandkids are a pretty big trump card.
