My friends and I all went to a lake here in Arizona that we have been going to for the last fifteen years or so. When we arrived we all went to pay the $6 parking fee like we always do except the machine that takes the money and issues the voucher stub had been removed. No sign, no one to ask, just gone. So I look around, no one has a voucher on their vehicles either, so I'm left to assume they don't want my money, right?
Imagine my surprise when I find a $56 ticket on my car and everyone else's (more for the vehicles pulling trailers). We all felt like we were set up. When I asked the Forest Service people about it, they were really snotty and pointed to an obscure sign at a Different ramp saying that passes were now only available in town 20+ miles away! Their attitude was pay it or waste your time in court and then pay it. Meanwhile this organization is running a scam that must be cleaning up. Anything we can do?

Class actions against the government are possible under the rules, but not for this type of suit
If you want to fight it, go take pictures of everything and take them to court with you.

How crappy...........but unfortunately no, there's really not much you can do about it. Soon enough after time no one will use the area or people will start to remember to go into town.
I used to scan those things onto my computer and then print them out. We used to party all the time in area in Texas where they were kinda the same way with tickets n' sh it.
Drive 20 miles, scan one, get some thick paper, and leave it inside your window...........they'll never know the difference. When you scan it just erase the writing with a graphic program and just use your own handwriting.
I also did this with a TABC license, as well as a food handlers permit!! All employers want is a copy of it so they don't get into trouble. Know one ever checks those things unless a finger comes up in the soup or something and even then they usually know who did it...................
have fun!

Right a letter to your local Congressman, State Sentator/Assemblyman, and the Governors office, complaining about this. You won't get your money back, but hopefully the problem will be taken care before the next time you go.
