night fishing state park fees

[moonburnt]

first i want to state again that i support the state parks department. i think they do a great job at all of the state parks that i visit. i can understand their need to collect fees for using the parks. i think their fees, as well as the cost of a fishing license, are a little high but i see that problem coming more from the legislature than the parks department and dwr. if i understand things correctly the parks department and the dwr depend on state funding as well as collected fees. so when we see an increase in park fees and fishing and hunting license fees it's usually, if not always, caused by the legislature cutting back the funding to the parks and to the dwr. therefore i've always figured if i had a problem with the fees being too high i should take my complaint to the legislature. which i haven't done as of yet but may soon. my problem is with having to pay $13 for a parking spot that only costs someone else $7. i'm not using any different facilities than the $7 person so why should i have to pay $13? does it cost more to maintain the facilities at night? it certainly can't cost more to have my truck parked in a parking spot at night than it does during the day.

anyway, i found the park rules and regulations on their website [url "http://stateparks.utah.gov/about/"]http://stateparks.utah.gov/about/[/url]. i believe the section which deals with boat camping is: R651-611-4 B. boat mooring and dry storage. 1. mooring fees: c. overnight boat camping-$15.00 (until 2:00 pm). i'll attach the entire pdf file to this message. i still haven't been able to find contact info for the board members yet.
