Remember – 70 of the 278 California State Parks are designated to close later this year. If you intend to purchase a Golden Poppy parking pass, be sure to purchase your pass where you want the funds used, i.e. the Auburn State Recreation Area office along Hwy 49. If on the other hand, you opt to purchase a pass online, the fees paid will go toward the general fund and not reflect any benefit locally. Fortunately, nearby Parks have been spared closures but they do need our support.
