This is more of a rant than a question. My lake (Elsinore) has raised the rates to $25 to launch. They charge $15 for a "Lake Pass" and $10 for ramp fees. So Cal's one and only terd of a lake also known as "Smell-some-more” is not exactly a beautiful vacation destination.
I love wakeboarding, but the sport is just getting too expensive for me. It probably cost me about $100 to tow my boat 1hr each way, fill up the gas tanks ($3.10 gal) and pay the launch fees. This is not even accounting for my boat payment and maintenance cost (add another $100 per day of riding?).
I feel I make a very good living and I don’t know how many afford this. I will seriously consider selling my boat if the Santee cable park becomes a reality.
