Thanks for the update on the annual pass.

I got mine in the mail about a week after ordering it.&nbsp; It looks like they are shipped out of St George for some reason.

Now if I can remember to hang the dang thing on the mirror. 😃

You wouldn’t be the first person to forget to display their pass. Three years ago I parked in the empty Lucerne Marina parking lot- it was March and everything was closed. When I returned from fishing in my buddy’s boat I found a ticket under the windshield wiper. I had forgotten to place my senior park pass on the dashboard. The ticket was issued by the Forest Service and since it was federal, I had to send my fine to Denver. The fine was $80.

As a follow up to the prior thread, I just drove by Hyrum state park and stopped to visit with the ranger that happened to be in office.&nbsp; He indicated the annual pass will need to be displayed&nbsp;in the vehicle as in prior years and has not received any directive to the contrary. &nbsp;He also sold two 2023 annual passes while I was there with green lanyard.

As to the ice, it appears sketchy around the edges though there are a few fishing on the lake obviously finding some access. Couple guys fishing by the ramp said 4-5" and was no problem getting on straight from the ramp, but again rest looked sketchy to me.&nbsp; Rain and sleet today not helping things with another warm day and night coming ☹
