Unrelated thought worth quoting: “Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they cannot communicate; they cannot communicate because they are separated.” – Martin Luther King, Jr., 1958

It’s amazing to me how these free entrance days bring people out.
You’d think that with the cost of gas, camping or lodging, etc, $20 (Yosemite) or $25 (many other parks, such as Yellowstone) would not be a major cost of the trip.
Rick, do you know what happens if you go in on a free day that’s not part of a free week and stay a few days? Do you have to pay on the way out?

Good question. I have never done that, but the deal is a free admission, so when you exit if you tell them you came in on a free day, I’m sure they’d honor it.
