$10 for a bike ride?!?!?!

I decided to go for a bike ride today and wanted to go Chessequake State Park and go on the wooded trails. When I got there there was a line to get into the park. As I was waiting for my turn to enter I noticed the people in front of me look as if they were exchanging money with the person in the booth. I thought there is no way they can be charging to get in the park. Sure enough they were. $10!!!!!!!! As if we don't pay enough in taxes for the privilege to live in this corrupt, criminal run state, now they want to charge $10 a car load to get into a park!! Hey Corslime, are you on crack!!!!

I cannot see paying $1 to get into this park let alone $10. I mean, I wanted to ride my bike for an hour or so. Even still, what do you get for the $10? It's a park. I'll be damned if I am going to give Corslime, the biggest crook of them all, any more of my hard earned money than I have to.

So instead of biking on wooded trails, I went to the Henry Hudson Trail in Keyport. Albeit not a wooded "mountain bike trail", it is nice to ride. It is paved and goes from Aberdeen to Atlantic Highlands. There is a southern portion that goes from Freehold to Marlboro and Aberdeen, but I have never ridden that part. There has to be a place to ride a mountain bike on wooded trails that is free. But then again this is New Jersey so probably not.
