Also hard to believe they would only charge $150.00 for St. Helen's, given the size and popularity of the tree farm.

Whatever they do, I hope they do it early enough so people that want to buy a permit can do so before the WDFW application deadline for special permit hunts so that choices/applications can be made knowing if access is there or not.
