Day use fee at Lake Yosemite is $30???

I heard this from a friend recently that they paid $30 at the gate to go to Lake Yosemite. I'm trying to look that up on the MID page but they only show fees for last fiscal year. When I follow their links to buy a day use pass it takes me to Lake McSwain, which is advertised as $30.

That's so expensive thats inaccessible for most. You might as well go to Yosemite National Park at that point.

Updating this fantasy map of California and would love any new suggestions about what to include!

Apologies if you've seen this elsewhere - this is the most current version with lots of suggestions from other redditors.

I'm making a map of California in a classic fantasy style (sorta Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones). It's going to be filled with real world history and mythology, with the aim of highlighting local landmarks in a fun and educational way. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks!

Bonus questions: Are there any decent dealers that don’t advertise online? Are there any dealers I should avoid?

P.S. I am open to rebuild/salvage titles.
