I'd like to know how Ohio pays for parks without taxes or visitor fees, or 
what the "user fees" are. Texas parks are pretty self-supporting, but cost 
$2-3 for daily admission, $50 for annual pass, and campsites $12 (WE), $18 
(WES) or $21 (Premium - lake fronts WES) per night. And the state parks are 
rated in the top 5 in the US.
