pay to play
Posted by: amf on Jan-31-13 3:26 PM (EST)

I haven't noticed that to be the case in my area, but in general I do find the "younger generation" is more willing to shell out $$ for "spoon feeding" of their adventure, no matter what flavor it is - caving, climbing, yakking, you name it. Myself, I find I am more willing to shell out some green to paddle an area I'd likely never get to on my own. Just my 2 centavos.
