asking them to replace into the pouch/cover when done.

I'd bet $$$ the NPS person would smile and do as you ask. I won't be buying a pass even though I do want to support NPS. But, circumstances don't allow more than a day or so at Rocky Mtn. National Park so that is just not cost-effective. I'll do a day pass.
