This is early in the season and it is already a problem. It ain't going to get better...as monkey sees, monkey will do.
This is the first time I heard about them in the pond and that is disconcerting.
I am not a MMWT ascender. I approach the mountain from the west, refill my water on the 97 Switchbacks and exit the same day. To me this is all esthetics. I do not have worry about the water quality.
I were someone was going to use the MMWT this coming summer, I would be calling the current chief cook and bottle washer at the INF asking what are their plans to minimize the effect of the few, the proud, the narcissistic WAG Bag leavers.
