Except I really mean it when I stargaze. I was thinking of you in the commissary today - that I never had done anything with the butternut squash over Christmas. So I'm feeling this up


Why I don't know - I feel up all my fruits and vegetable. Anyway I went out on a lunch date with a guy I was stationed with at Pax several weeks ago. Ran smack dab into him right at the butternut. Figures.

If you tell them you are only doing a drive-thru, they sometimes let you in for free.

I thought the fee was only for camping, that visitors were allowed free.
State must need money.
Wonder how many of the non-english speakers there pay to get in.

When they first built/took over the park years ago, we were told locals would never have to pay........

I'm glad you posted. Got my free pass yesterday and the nice lady park ranger said just drive to the left of the barriers in the morning if I want to watch the sunrise/sunsets. Something about not changing the times on a daily basis in guard rail thingy. Very excited.

10.00 is for the boat ramp. Rest of the park is closed from sunset to sunrise. You have to pay 3.00 during those hours. No free rides.....

I stand corrected - good to know that. Pass was really easy - just showed them my ID and they made up the card. I would imagine veterans just need to show a DD214 - does that sound right Ken?

Don't know, last time I went to Pt. Lookout I was still working for the Navy and went to the site down past the lighthouse for free.

Is there a difference between retired military and veterans? I mean if someone served in a war they are obviously a veteran and therefore were (or still are) a member of the armed forces. Just curious, I don't know all of the terminology.

Those were the days. I took a ride down there two or three days ago and the entire circle area that goes past the lighthouse was blocked off.

Veteran would refer to anyone who served in the military regardless of whether or not they retired.

Retired military are veterans, but not the other way around. Not all veterans put in their 20+ years to collect benefits.
