The State Park Pass
By DavePierce
Camping is a great past time or mini vacation that can be enjoyed as an individual, as a couple or as a family. Many people enjoy at state parks, where the amenities are plentiful and the fees are affordable. The wonderful thing about the state park systems is that they offer ample opportunities for the public to enjoy the great outdoors as nature intended. No matter what state you live in, there’s almost always a state park within reasonable driving distance from your home.

State parks are great for when they are less crowed during the weekdays, but on the weekends and in the warmer months, they become very busy. Most people seek out the more secluded areas to camp in for more privacy and so they are not bothered with rowdy nearby campers. Having a reasonable distance between campsites is more desirable to campers and this is considered when choosing a state park to purchase a pass from. Not many people choose over crowded state parks with campers elbow to elbow, they want their own space.

The best way to plan a trip to a state park is to first select which state park you want to camp at, check the availability of the camp sites and get the reservation information you need and then obtain a pass. Most of this information is available online with comparable charts to make it easier to choose a state park with all the amenities you’re looking for. Especially if you are a enthusiast that frequently goes at a particular state park, obtaining a pass can be a great benefit. Some passes can give you rights to a specific location and you can buy these passes each time you visit or by the season or the year.

Campers love these state park passes because it allows them easy access to a fantastic facilities used to make your experience more comfortable and more enjoyable. Some of the amenities state parks will offer are: clean restrooms, hot showers, convenience stores, tackle shop, boat rental, boat launches, marinas, weekend movies, playgrounds, small beach, hiking trails, fire pit, horse riding and other planned activities. Although the restrooms are public, they are often kept clean and sanitary. The stores are great for buying food and necessities, because no matter how carefully you plan, something will most likely be forgotten. Being able to rent a boat is great if you enjoy boating, but don’t actually own a boat and you won’t have to lug a boat to and from the camp site.

"Son, never buy a cheap tool," my grandfather said while navigating the labyrinth of a cavernous hardware store one Saturday morning in the fall of 1977. He was looking to replace a broken yard rake with the most expensive one available. Every time I neglect his advice I confirm the underlying wisdom of those words. Cheap tools cost more becaus...
Dakine District Bag
My first thought when asked to test Dakine's District bag? "How many packs does one man really need?" (I have five). After using the District for about six weeks, my answer, is one. At first glance, the District almost comes off as an oversized man purseinstead of being short in height and long, like your typical messenger bag, it...

Urban cyclists are a stubborn lot. They tend to fall in love with their rig, and then display a suicidal loyalty to the bike, regardless of shifting trends or technologies. That philosophy, and the war-like conditions of Washington DC's asphalt, have kept me on my trusted hardtail mountain bike for over seven years now. I swapped out the knobbie...
Knog Toad, Bullfrog and Tadpole bike accessories
With a gallon of gas approaching four dollars, it's become even easier to justify commuting on my bike more often. But I needed something that announced my presence to those often absent-minded drivers of New Mexico (you know who you are). A quick look around the local shops led me to Knog , an Australia-based company that makes clean, modern...
Teva's Karnali Wraptor sport sandals for women
After hiking a particularly wet, stream-crossed trail in running shoes last weekend, teetering across logs, soaking my socks, and splattering mud up my shins, I was on a mission to find a pair of sport sandals that could not only handle the water flow, but could keep up on the pebbly trail as well. And, as a girl from the big city I was also on...
