I'm thinking webcams on every tree ought to stop 'em.

Testing a Toilet Tech unit on Long's Peak trail, Rocky Mtn NP. Next to it on the right is the older-style solar dehydrating toilet inside a privacy shelter.

Very similar trail conditions as Whitney and similar heavy use. But they keep toilets working under these tough conditions year a

Looks like a coffee machine, heh.

I thought you and powerful friends in the forest and Washington were getting something going on MMWT. At least that is what you implied on Facebook more than a year ago without specificity.

How's about an update for the peeps.
