If I'm headed out that direction, I'll have a more enjoyable time if I drive five more minutes and go to Dabney or Rooster Rock, both of which I can get into using my Oregon State Parks pass — which is also valid at McIver, Stub Stewart, Champoeg, and a whole pile of other non-DG parks (e.g., Silver Falls, Ecola, Nehalem Bay).

Basically, for me, playing Blue Lake isn't worth the money. If I was in the neighborhood and there was a free parking option, I might take advantage of that, because the alternative is not going there at all.

Adam, will we ever break you out of that "it's not fun if I don't have a chance at a 2" mold? What's a few extra throws on a nice walk in the park?
