Every other private campground with hike in Hot Springs that I am aware of charges multiples of that.

So? Just go around the private property on public lands and don't pay at all. That's a much better deal.

Um, I was like operating a commercial tour bus full of paying passengers expecting to land somewhere safe, and also most interested in community building such as breaking bread together, not sneaking around trying to get something for nothing.
Mike kept the people safe, kept the buses secure, helped out in countless crisises, and was an ally for many years not only to me but many other people I worked with. The tiny bit of reciprocal energy he asked for in the form of money was a total bargain.
