by Aaron Hockley
Observation: Railfans are an interesting bunch, especially when it comes to finances. They will spend thousands of dollars on photography and videography equipment, and hundreds of dollars on travel expenses. Then they’ll bitch when they need to pay a $5 fee to park somewhere.
I make this observation with the full knowledge I fit into this odd grouping. Last fall I spent money to fly to Boise and back and rent a car, yet I’ve never shot a photo from the west end of the Horsethief Lake causeway because I’ve been too cheap to pay the $5 entrance fee.

Aaron, you’ll be happy to know that State of Washington is dropping the fee this year. I, on the other hand, have found the fee to be worth it at various times. I like the shot and I know other cheap foamers won’t do it!!!
