So I joined the crowds up at Bear Lake for the 4th of July. I have never seen so many people on the beach -- and I go to Bear Lake quite often. This year the community of Garden City decided to charge to go down the road to the beach. -- $7 per carload, $5 per 4wheeler. They even have a cash drop box if someone is not there to collect your money. The amount of money they collected was probably substantial. This really bothered me! Needless to say, I did not pay to go to the beach. I find it hard to believe that Garden City can charge to go down a road in their city to get to a Free State beach.
Who'd of thought?

It is their city... they can charge what ever they want. Do you know how much it costs to get a road re-paved? Well here is a helpful hint. The condo association down the street just re-paved one of their streets and it cost 33,000.00 for 150 feet long by 25 feet wide. Granted the city does not have to that much but it is a hefty bill, and they have a lot more road. As most of the people that are going to bear lake are not tax payers in that city and they are the ones messing the roads up why shouldn’t they pay a small 5.00 fee? Why should the city and the people that live there have to fix the road that tourists and boaters are messing up? They shouldn’t we should.
