This may be of interest to some: TONTO NATIONAL FOREST PASSES NOW AVAILABLE New 2003 annual passes are now available for more than 40 recreation sites in the Tonto National Forest. The passes will be sold at a discount price since a printing contract problem prevented their delivery at the beginning of the year. The normal cost of a pass valid for seven days a week throughout the year is $90. A weekday pass, valid Monday through Thursday, is normally $60. Discounted prices will be $80 for the seven-day pass and $50 for the weekday pass. People with a 2002 ass will be allowed to use it through Feb. 16 to allow time to purchase a 2003 pass. The windshield-sticker pass exempts vehicles from the required daily parking fees. Passes also cover additional parking fees for vehicles with boats at launch sites on Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, Roosevelt, Bartlett and Horseshoe lakes.
