CT state parks

Thank you Gary for passing ths along!

Lisa - For your blog.

Most folks who use the CT state parks probably know that they can buy a season's pass, paying a one-time fee of $50 (it goes up every year!) and then once they afix the decal to their car's windshield (you HAVE to do that), they will not have to pay to enter the state parks for the balance of the year. However, for older geezers like me, you can get a FREE - yep - FREE!! senior pass that does not expire (until you do!). That's right - you only have to stop at one of the state parks with an entrance fee and show your ID and that you are 65 years old or older, fill out a small card, and put it in your wallet or in your car some where. It does NOT have to be afixed to the windshield and you probably could be a passenger in someone else's car and show that ID and get the car in without paying a parking fee. There is lots to do and photograph in our state parks so take advantage of either the $50 fee for an annual pass for 2009, or, if you are 65 or older, get a totally free pass that does not have to be renewed each year and get out and enjoy our park system.
