Adventure/accesss Pass question

[Devoid169]

I'm reading in some threads about an adventure/access pass of some sort. Is it basically like a green sticker for bikes? Where to get, how much, etc. I'm new to all this as you can tell...Thanks!

Its actually a card you hang on the rear view mirror so you dont get a ticket when you park....in the park. You can get a one day from any ranger station or Sports Chalet has them as well. They are also available as a year long. I think they're either $5 or $10 bucks.

hope that helps

Yea its a pass you buy from most sporting goods store. The day pass is 5 bucks and the annual pass is 30. If you are going to be in the natl forest more than 6 times then get the annual.

I bought mine at Sports chalet for $30 and you can purchase a second pass for your "2nd" car for $5.00. You need this to park at any National Forest areas like at San Juan or Maple Springs, Noble Canyon...,etc.

If you don't have one, you can put $5 in an envelope that is provided at the trailhead. You write you Lic. plate # on the envelope, drop in the the drop box and place the receipt on your dash.

Here is a link on info about passes. http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sanbernardino/ap/pass-options.shtml

I'm not sure but I think theres a caveat to that. the second car has to be parked near the first.

Anyone else hear that?

How often do people take their second car with them? For some reason that doesn't sound right. Although I can see motorhomes with their tag-along.

They can be used independantly from each other. It's just a second card issued at a discount for buying the first.

Hey Donnie - Where ya headed?

If you can't get one in time for you're ride, you'll get a $5 ticket. It's better just to get the pass though.

Hey Greg -
I was just reading of the San Juan SS ride today and saw people talking about a pass to park. Just trying to get some info before I head out somewhere so I end up ticket-free. I seem to be a ticket magnet - maybe I should change my last name - 'Steele'.... Anyway, gonna be doing the Fullerton loop tomorrow with my sister and brother-in-law and hopefully my brother too - the Tara Llanes benefit ride. How was Hawaii? Or are you still there?

could this thread be another can of worms waiting to be opened? there has been a long winded debate on these 'adventure' or as some call them, 'extorsion' passes.

You can't tell the $$ goes to the parks in the San Gabs. No water. Dirty toilets. Locked bathrooms. I agree that they are BS! I have seen very few improvements in some of my riding areas! I never buy a pass and if I get a ticket, I send the $$ in at that time. Sometimes.

I do not agree. Where are the improvements in the Cleveland?
Many of the fee receipts do little more than pay for fee collection and enforcement.

[FONT=Verdana]Making the public pay a fee to use its own public lands, while at the same time providing federal subsidies for timber, cattle and mining on public lands, is not only illogical, but immoral.

As for me, I'll not be buying.

I'm not in the forest for recreation - I'm there for:[/FONT]
-Religious or spiritual reasons
-Educational purposes
-Work-related purposes
-Health reasons
-To protest user fees, as per our First Amendment Rights
-Any purpose other than a recreational activity

I rode San Juan today (I was the guy on the balck 1x1) and they don't have the envelope on the dashboard option anymore. My annual pass ran out at the end of last month and I figured that I'd just get an envelope, but you can't do that anymore at San Juan (redundant, I know). Being Thanksgiving, I couldn't get a pass anywhere, so I just wrote a note. Looking at the other cars at the trailhead, I think alot of people didn't have a pass and I didn't see any tickets. Anyway, I'll buy a new pass tomorrow at Sport Chalet.

i think i know that bubb. i know another bubb who got one a couple months back and tossed it in his riding bag and i think it still is sitting at the bottom of it.
