Thanks, Dave. FYI, I also got the following reply from the Park Service. One alternative I was considering was towing the port-a-potty behind my kayak in a small boat with a hinged cover, something like one of those Rocket Cases for car tops. Sure would solve the problem of where to put more gear than your kayak can carry... Chuck Holst >> Chuck - The new regulations require anyone camping on the shoreline to have and use some sort of portable toilet device. The only thing prohibited to use would be the plastic bags since they clog the dump stations. Therefore, you can still use your ammo can if you'd rather do that instead of purchasing a commercial portable toilet. It just can't be lined with the plastic bag. There are dump stations at each marina and there are several floating pumpouts/dump stations on the lake (however, in March, the floating ones might not yet be open for the season). So, you can dump the ammo can contents at those dump stations and wash it out as well. Hope that answers your questions. Please feel free to write again or call (520) 608-6404 should you have further questions.
