That's what I needed. Thanks Leonard.

Russ, I have a 5th wheel and it'll be the first time bringing it to DC. I'll be going thru LP a little faster than others probably.

And, if Bobbie Thompson is closed again, I'll probably let folks use the crapper in a pinch. Unless of course, you've eaten Leonard's burritos. In that case I'll have to charge for the fumigation. :P

We had a couple of portable crappers set up last year. It worked out pretty good for the guys. It was a little primative for the ladies.

Yep, one needs a NBC gas mask to be able to use the outhouse at Bobby. I about passed out last summer. I'd take working in a hog confinement any day over 5 minutes in the BT crapper.

I've never seen anyone highbank there. Most of the bedrock is 3-4 feet deep and it would take a lot of shoveling to get to where the gold is.

Saw this on the Medicine Bow NF website:

The Medicine Bow and Routt National Forests have experienced a landscape-scale Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic, which has killed most of the lodgepole pine trees.

The following are guidelines to help you avoid the risks of falling trees when recreating in your national forests and other public lands, in all seasons of the year:

Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid dense patches of dead trees. They can fall without warning.
If you are in the forest when the winds increase, head to a clearing out of reach of any potential falling trees.
Put vehicles and camps in areas where they will not be hit if a tree falls.
Park close to a main road; if trees fall across the road you may be trapped.
Bring an ax or chainsaw to remove fallen trees from roads in case you become trapped.
Don't rely only on cell phones for safety since there is no coverage in many areas of the National Forests.


Remember, your safety is your responsibility!

Do I remember reading somewhere that 4" dredges require different paperwork?
