Hey! Boomers, For Active Aging Fitness Get Your Senior Pass For The National Parks

FitOldDog with Lori of the National Parks service, with FitOldDog's senior pass.

Lori made my friends and I feel very welcome, as we all came into the Shenandoah National Park for a hike. Get your Senior Pass, it really works, for friends, family, and your vehicle. Selfie by FitOldDog.

Hi folks, welcome,

Yep, they all came in with me on my Senior Pass. Nick, Willbe, Myles, Deb, Felix and Darian. Photo by FitOldDog, in the Shenandoah National Park.

Aging can be a bummer, but there are some advantages, such as the National Parks Senior Pass. It costs $10, but it lasts for life (so stay in shape for full value). I got mine a few years ago, and the parks staff are always welcoming and friendly, explaining all the great benefits of your card. Including the fact that everyone in your vehicle can come in for free, too. You also get to park your vehicle gratis at the trailheads.

While my friends are hiking the trail, I’ll drive ahead to have a run, if I can get my plantar fasciitis to settle down, which I’m sure I shall – brought my roller! Then I’ll set up my old Coleman stove (now 47 years old), and get dinner ready, before we set camp for the night.

So, instead of complaining about old age, try finding those great advantages, and exercise to reap the full benefits of active aging fitness.

Cheers,

Kevin aka FitOldDog
