Virginia is beautiful, but some of this shit is annoying.
>>2725089>Virginia is beautifulTruly breathtaking
>>2725121Such is life on the east coast.
>>2725089After 2 days of hiking in the sun it would feel worth it. I'd take the longest shower I could get away with, though.
>>2725089Wait, they want to add another $5 on for sales tax as well? So actually you're paying double.This is why America can be annoying. You ask them how much it costs and then you receive a whole breakdown of all the bullshit fees, and then they start talking about state taxes. JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH
>>2725089That’s kinda average for facilities. It’s about $4-10 at most places in the Rockies, same with gas stations for truckers.
>>2725121> he doesn't know about western virginia and eastern west virginia
>>2725089>wah wah everything should be free and also of acceptable quality to me, I shouldn't have to help out at all I should just get
>>2725133
>>2725089these things deter certain groups. have you seen what free campsites and recreational areas look like? they look like the roadside in mexico, littered with trash.
>>2725378Well yeah, basically. Ripping people off is unchristian.
>>2725396virginia in particular seems like a rip-off state compared to maryland, west virginia, and pennsylvania where state parks are mostly free to enter. Virginia seems overly organized, rule-bound and expensive. For instance, you cannot hike on state game lands, even if you don't hunt, in Virginia without a paid permit for the day. That's not the case in WV/MD/PAI feel like maybe much of the deeper south is more like Virginia and maybe its a southern thing.
>>2725135Trying to keep freeloaders out is how I'm reading it. Parkway is stunningly beautiful. We used to day trip to tiger falls during a particularly hot and dry summer, good times. Probably filled with beer cans and used condoms these days.
>>2725401>tiger falls you mean panther falls? https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/virginia/panther-falls--2full of teens partying when I was there but they moved for a bit so I could get a photo of the waterfall so not all badthey were playing loud music though
>>2725403Yeah, it's been 25+ years.. I realized I got the name wrong after thinking about it a bit. oh wellBut yes, I really enjoyed going there.
