SIXTY DOLLARS??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Amazon list is $28.98 and there are new copies at $21.53 and $2.98
postage.  On Amazon.ca it is a BARGAIN at CDN$24.99 with marketplace new
copies at the same price.

I can think of a few other choice words you should add.  You had
mentioned that they would probably get more visitors at a lower
admission price.  They would get MUCH more sales at a REASONABLE price. 
Your other suggestion that they discount the admission price into sales
prices is not anywhere near enough!  Their brochure and display at the
state Welcome Center does not give their admission price, days and hours
of operation, nor their GPS-type address.  With the roadblocks and not
"warning" me that they would be closed on my way back, it is as if they
didn't want anybody knowledgeable to show up!
