This is kinda on topic..... 
But this just came up on my radar the other day: If you are 62 or older, a US citizen, you can purchase a Senior Pass from the Feds (six different participating agencies, but rec sites and parks are the biggies) for $10. LIFE TIME PASS.
The law was passed late last year to up the price to $80 but it has not taken affect yet so if you are so inclined best to get your bum in gear and spring for one. If you visit parks and rec areas (see the link for a better list) even $80 is a deal. But $10 is a screaming deal.

If you can't visit a site in person you can do it via snail mail (see the rules) and they add a $10 handling fee.
