GL: America the Beautiful Passport

[Kersey, Chuck]

Morning All,
I just checked out the new US Gov. Recreation site, it replaces
nps.gov,
reservations.gov and whatever else they had out there for US parks
etc.
Excellent new site.

www.recreation.gov

Here is the info for the
'America the Beautiful Pass'. It is $80 for the
pass, it is for 'Permanent US
Residents', 'US Citizens', not
transferable, good for one(1) year, if you
loose it, you buy a new one.

info for the 'Senior' pass. It is $10 for the pass, it is
for 'Permanent US
Residents', 'US Citizens' over 62, not transferable,
good for life, if you
loose it, you buy a new one.

OK,  my 2 cents.  I would go across the Erie Canal from
Waterford to 
Oswego, then cross Lake Ontario to Kingston and do the Rideau
to 
Ottawa.  Going *down *the step locks in Ottawa is better for a first
timer than going up.  Go down the Ottawa River and visit Montreal by 
staying
at the lock in Sainte Anne-de-Bellevue and save the money it 
takes to stay
in the big city.  You can take the mass transit to town 
and spend the money
saved on beautiful sight seeing and dinner in 
fabulous places.  Then go on
the St Lawrence to Sorel and down the 
Richelieu to Lake Champlain and back
to the Hudson.  That way you are 
not going against the current at any time
and you can get your legs 
about you on the Erie Canal, the easiest route to
get started on.

There, I had my say.
