Re: [Paddlewise] Lake Powell/portable toilets

My husband and I each have a Romany, and while we haven't yet done any
kayak camping, it's on the list of things to do sooner rather than later.
 We figure that between the two boats we can store just about everything
we'll need, but it's occurred to us also that any of the commercial
"boomboxes" are too big for our hatches.  So if you're taking a count of
people who might be interested, count us in (provided, of course, the
price isn't TOO outlandish).
