"It sucks, 60 bucks and it’s not even gonna get me all the way there,” Abramzcyk said.
Leigh Redfield and her family are driving to Castle Rock Lake for the weekend.
“We’ll fill up when we’re out there hopefully, then maybe just one more before we come back,” Redfield said. “They’re kind of steep but we just have to decide we’re gonna have a good trip anyways.”
