Senior Pass deadline is Oct. 1st

There's good news if you have procrastinated and haven't ordered your National Parks Senior Pass yet.

You can get a lifetime Senior Pass for $10, but back in Dec. 2016 a bill was passed raising the price to $80, but there was no announced effective date. But now there is an official date for the price increase. It's October 1st, 2017.

You have a little time, but why wait. It's easy to let the time slip up on you. Of course, if you're not going to be 62 until later this year, it's good news for you--just hurry and turn 62 before Oct. 1st.

Here is a link telling you more about the Senior Pass and the deadline for getting it for $10 instead of the new $80 price.
