The annual Recreation Inflation Rate for the 12 months ended in April, 2012
was 1.23%. That's 0.09% percent lower than the 12 months ended in March,
2012 which inflated at a rate of 1.32%. It is 1.30% percent higher than the 12
months ended in April, 2011 which inflated at a rate of -0.07%. The fall in
inflation rates from March to April indicates that the short term inflation trend in
recreation prices has been down. If that trend continues, we should see an
inflation rate for the 12 months ended in May, 2012 that is close to 1.15%.

The Recreation Inflation Rate one year ago was -0.07%. Over the last year,
inflation in the recreation price index was 1.23%. The average rate over the last
10 years was 0.77%. Higher inflation over the last 12 months compared to the
average inflation over the last 10 years serves as an indicator that the long
term trend in the Recreation Inflation Rate is up. Inflation expectations should
be adjusted accordingly.
