getting permits mailed to me.....

[Goes4ever]

just called two state parks close to me, they have lakeside beaches. They said permits for one year will be mailed to me today, I need to sign them and return. Then I am good to go ANYWHERE in the park, wooHOOOO!

Great news!!

I just got my first. Most places in NJ do not require permits, but some other states do. I am actually excited to have it!!

Congrats!

once you signed it and returned it to them, did it take long to get it back with their signature?

I had to write to the parks department and give a copy of my driver's liscense. About 6 weeks later I received the permit. I need to fill out the back at the end of 2008 with a list of everything i found of value or historic significance. I will make sure I do that....

hmmmm, I hope I don't have to do all of that, they said it would be mailed today, and I needed to sign it, return it. Then the park ranger would sign it and return it to me.
I pray it is not a 6 week deal!

I can tell you that the Rangers like to yell from a distance " Hey, get out of there! " Then you yell back " I have a permit!!!" Then they drive away. Without a permit you just look like an idiot.

FYI, I most certainly will report any historically significant finds. I have donated things to many local museums and libraries. There is no better feeling to see my name on an artifact in a museum case.
