I stopped at that gas station too, engaged in the same general discussion with the woman behind the counter, but when I asked about going out to the Museum site, the woman said, "Sure, no problem".

While the growling about the seemingly high-side entrance fee is certainly understandable, it's still an absolutely sacred pilgrimage for the collector, and never ceases to awe, no matter how many times one returns.
