[Travelandtourism] Disabled Getting into National Parks Free

[Julie J]

Not Cindy, but to me it makes no difference if it is all disabled people or 
just the blind folks, it is still not something I am comfortable with.

Seems like there is a banquet speech on this topic...I can't remember which 
one though.  Have to do some poking around.
