But, I also think my dad gets 50% off the site he stays in with his senior annual pass, so that throws a wrench in a bit too.

They're supposed to be cruising the grounds each day to make sure every car has a valid pass on it - I wouldn't chance it. Even if you got away with it last time, it does not guarantee future success. YMMV

OK you guys, I don't even like camping, but this sounds fun.

While standing in line for GRR, I came up with a list of things I should bring to camp. That list contains 413 items.
