I suspect it doesn't happen in the park because people dig hole, even in The Whitney Zone.

My guess is for every visible WAG bag along the MMWT there are ten others under rocks or behind bushes. To me, this is failed policy...along with being disgusting.

The FS is relying on the citizenry to clean up this mess. As Mr. Oye said to me, his people aren't paid or trained to handle hazardous waste.
