That table is sweet. I wouldn't mind having one for myself but too heavy to move around. I imagine that's one if it's purposes is so no can run off with it.

Yes, less substantial things are more likely to disappear.

This has happened to three of our toilets on other trails, probably due to snow load.


This is how the problem was addressed on two toilets(so far)on Dusy before the problem arises, we're hoping this will prevent it from happening.

They sure beat squatting in the woods, plus you don't have to walk as far to get out of sight.

Installed the last toilet at Mallard Lake over the weekend.

The prefabbed facility was picked up from the Forest Service work center by one trailer and taken to the trailhead, then it was distributed one wall per trailer.

No problem. I post this stuff to keep other wheelers aware of what's going on on the trails, also if there are any questions about the trails I can help with. We would like to put one more at Lakecamp Lake, but no more are prefabbed at this time, and we are unsure about permission.
