No national park fees this coming weekend

Gaelyn over at her blog, http://geogypsytraveler.com/2015/02/11/three-day-fee-free-weekend/ reminded everyone that this coming weekend is a fee-free weekend at national parks.  We used to be able to take advantage of that, but, since we are now both over 62, we have our Senior Passes.  I actually purchased mine last year at Joshua Tree National Park and believe me, it has come in handy!  When I drive up to Lake Hemet, I put it on the car dashboard at the national forest part of the picnic area and I can park and hop out and take photos.  Thinking back a year, I don't think I used mine anywhere else.  We didn't go to any national parks last summer.  We spent a week up on the Mogollon Rim with our son and daughter-in-law, and grandson, and a week up in the June Lake loop.  But we didn't use our Senior Pass at either of those locations.  Hmmmm....maybe it's time for a visit to a national park this summer?

 That's Mt. San Gorgonio, part of the San Bernardino mountains.

 I love to see the pinyon trees nestled among the rocks.
