Sounds like the Rangers enjoy hauling these gems down the trail. Maybe when the next generation of Rangers takes over, they will do some research and see how the National Park Service handles this problem professionally with a 21st century toilet system that works. The bad memories of the old defective system on Whitney will probably stick with this generation of Rangers until they retire. In the mean time, we get to see and smell these presents along the trail, and still pay the same fees that could run a toilet system.
