Message to the Old Guys

I guess I'm officially old. I got my Medicare card in the mail yesterday, to take effect June 1.

Made me think. I am sure I am "stating the obvious" to you guys, but in case anyone doesn't know............ IF you are over 62, you can get an "America The Beautiful" pass card from the Federal Parks Service. It is normally $80 for young folks, but only $10 if you are 62. That card lets you get into every National Park in America (everyone in the car) free and is good for a lifetime.

BUT it's real value is that if you show it to the COE, they will sell you the $30.00 annual parking pass for half price! You can get the card at most National Parks (Google the card for a list by state of locations that sell it), or you can pay another $10.00 'processing fee' and get it via U.S. Mail.

(Speaking of which, I need to find somewhere to get a new parking pass, mine has expired).

Just FYI in case you didn't know.

Good info....thanks

i got a AARP card the other day in mail. It was making me filling old but not any more :biggrin Thanks

Toad Suck RV Park

Almost forgot, I got my card week before last. Waiting on 1st check on 2/14 for Jan. Almost enough to eat dinner on.

Steve, drove out there the other day, no one was in the shack.

And I've been drawing SS checks for a year (thank you, thank you, all you working stiffs), so the medicare is automatic on my birth month.......should I live that long@!

Get your parking pass at the COE office on the right side of the road just before you cross the Toad Suck bridge.
That's where I get mine.

Got my Senior Pass at the Forrest Service office in Oxford. $10 and good for life; unless you loose it. Not replaceable. Gotta buy it again. Heck of a deal though.
