| #1 This one actually does stimulate the economy. If properly located those toilets (actually stool/vaults for the poop, periodically pumped out) are a benefit to the recreation community and the small businesses in the area. There are too many users in Forest Campgrounds to allow everyone to "be one with the bears". Since the Forest Service is no longer a multiple-use organization (no logging, much less grazing) the local economies rely on recreation to survive. |
