and in my opinion still a bargain. There is getting to be so many of us and we can contribute
better than many young people and you still can get a yearly pass for $20.00.
Still a bargain.
Just to let you know you still can get the Super dooper bargain. Until I believe August 28.

I purchased mine last October, and it now resides in my wife's car - our primary traveling vehicle. This is good reminder to put this on my pre-trip packing list, so that if we take a different vehicle, I remember to take along the pass.
"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

Unfortunately, if you lose the pass you will need to purchase another. Here is a link with additional information:
Additional Details about the Senior Pass
Look under "Senior Pass Use", point number 6
What if my Senior Pass is lost, stolen or damaged?
If lost or stolen, you'll need to buy another one.
If damaged, it can be replaced as long as a portion of the pass is identifiable and you show proper identification.

Better not lose it than. Its worth money.
I picked my pass up at the Forestry center in Tofte a few years ago getting a camping permit. I assume you can still do that?

I have mine and it is a deal and a half. It has always made me feel a little guilty. My wife and I are not rich by any means but we always feel a little guilty when we use the pass. You pull up to a National Park and get waived through for free. Next in line comes a 30 year old couple with 2 kids and very limited money. They have to pay full price. It almost seems backwards to me.
Not that I am volunteering to turn my senior pass in, however! And it saves eight bucks every time I go to the BW.

My wife turns 62 in December. We tried to buy one for her in June, knowing the price increase was coming. No luck, they will not allow a prepay for those not yet 62.
I guess I have to stay healthy for as long as my wife lives since the pass just covers one person and can't be transferred to a surviving spouse.

That is kind of how I feel. Kind of guilty,but as long as it is that way I will use it.
