Yup.  It's times like this when I begin to see some sense in the "you're all
against the Trail even if you think you're not" posts.

It's the same problem with mass transit: people want to count the cost their
way.  The car is "free" because they already own one, they normally buy gas for
it so that's "free."  Insurance?  Lost time because of accidents? Free!!  It's
those buses and trains that "cost" so much.

Highways and their repair are "necessary."

Similarly, when I saw the cost sheet for the $xxx hike that was supposed to be
so cheap, I noticed all those trash bags and compactor bags and sandwich bags
that were "free."  I don't use any of those things so would have to buy them. 
I felt that calling them "free" was cheating.

Maybe my sunburn is worse than I thought.
