I think the rates/card we use are for 65yrs and disabled. My DH is disabled. But they may have a different card for 55 and older. I'm 55 as well. I only stay married for these kinds of perks. Google for national park access passes and golden passes, you'll find something. You can get them (free) at any national park gift shop. We got ours at the St Louis Arch.
We don't tether ours, they free range so when I nap on the bed in back they go with me. But it is definitely taking a chance in case of an accident to do that. They could get seriously hurt being loose. Heck, they can get hurt just in a heavy braking/curve maneuver....(idiot).
When I took a break from dispatching, I team drove with DH for 3yrs and I missed being able to hop into the sleeper and nap going down the road. We had everything in truck. Including litter box and cats. I've learned to really hate staying upright on long trips...LOL Soooo...RV is the only way to go.
