As of a couple of years ago, the price was $10.  I guess the new fancy name warranted the higher price.

Yeah. We got ours right after the change (we probably could have gotten them sooner). Oh well. It's still a pretty good deal, especially if you live long enough.

Correction: My SO reminded me that we got ours just before the price change. I guess I'm an early geezer after all.

Here's a few campgrounds I've stayed in: Aguirre Spring (Organ Mountains); Oliver Lee Memorial State Park (south of Alamogordo); Clayton Lake State Park; Bandelier National Monument; Hyde Memorial State Park; Valley of Fires Recreation Area. Some in the north and some in the south, some with and some without electricity/water hookups. You live in a great state...enjoy!

If you are disabled (does not need to be 100%), with the proper documentation, you can get the Access Pass for free but there is a $10 charge for processing.

StephenH, don't believe them when you go to a bar and they tell you the lunch if free provided you buy the glass of beer for $10.  Disapprove

Yes, but a $10 processing fee sure beats $80 plus the same $10 processing fee (Senior lifetime pass) or $20 (annual) plus $10 processing fee for the annual Senior pass. No matter the option, the same $10 processing fee applies.

It is kind of like the "As Seen on TV" adds where you get the second item "free" (just pay a separate shipping and handling fee).

Or buy one get one "free" in the supermarket.  And some times they even raise the price of the one you have to buy by nearly double so when you buy your chuck roast, you're paying T-bone prices.  

One of rules of life:  There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Right in there with one of the world's former greatest lies:  "The check's in the mail."  Cool

Its fundamental physics, vaild throughout the universe, and enshrined as the first of the 3 laws of thermodynamics:

  1. You cannot win (that is, you cannot get something for nothing, because matter and energy are conserved).
  2. You cannot break even (you cannot return to the same energy state, because there is always an increase in disorder; entropy always increases).
  3. You cannot get out of the game (because absolute zero is unattainable).

In other words, we're screwed as we devolve into random chaos.  So, eat, drink, be merry, and go camping in your Pod, for tomorrow we cross the event horizon as we plummet into singularity.
