So... this is my first news article, and I'm far from being a journalist. I was going to just submit this information to _{pimps out the club} but I thought maybe there are still people out there who don't know about *ItDoesNotHaveMe.

Enough pimping on to the real story. How many of you are US citizens or permanent US residents??? If you're not don't leave... you may want to see if something similar is available in your country. Do you like to get out into nature and enjoy the national parks? Are you disabled, or know someone who is? Do you have lint in your wallet because your disability keeps you from working? _{you don't have to raise your hands... just keep reading} Then you might be interested in the "America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass – Access Pass." Which allows you free entrance to national parks that require fees as well as some other nifty discounts.



I stumbled across this information last spring while wanting to visit a national park that I can see my house from. Being in the same situation as many disabled Americans, (read poor) I was delighted to find [link] (scroll just over halfway down.) When I went to Skyline drive a month later, I told the Ranger at the gate that I was disabled and needed to apply for the access pass. She directed me to the nearest ranger station and waved me on through. Once I reached the ranger station it was a matter of reading and signing some simple paperwork. I had proof of disability with me, and I was given a pass. It was easier than getting out of bed... _{some of you will really understand.}



I hope you find this information as useful as I did, and that just because you have physical limitations, you don't let that limit your possibilities.

Heath and Happiness,
