Not true, for instance our fall trip to the Goshutes costs about $350
(8 days, includes van, motels and some food and a $100 to Hawkwatch,
our banding outfit) and this is not unique.

PAS has a contribution policy as well, though we don't state it
in each newsletter (perhaps we should). We suggest $0.04/mile
to the driver per rider.
