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 -

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.
