Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced the next Fee Free Day! On Wednesday, November 11 there will be no entrance fees for national parks, national forests, refuges, and other interior lands.

Visitors to public recreation lands managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation are invited to take a day to honor service men and women.

"The Department of the Interior is honored to offer this fee free day to thank our nation's service men and women," said Salazar said "The sacrifices and achievements of the brave men and women of our armed forces can never be understated. We invite all of our visitors to enjoy this fee free day and take time out on this national holiday to remember our service men and women who are currently serving overseas in harm's way."

First they are telling everyone they are closing the parks dues to budget cuts and now they are crying for visitors. Make up your minds!
