Yeah, something about paying to enjoy God's gifts doesn't quite seem right to me either. However, putting it into perspective a little; $5 to spend a day fishing or picnicing or whatever in some pretty nice parks isn't near as bad as paying the launch fee for the pathetic excuse at Point Defiance.

Plus I'd rather pay a small fee for upkeep than see a park deteriorate to the point of closing or being sold to Weyehauser.
