Lots of good suggestions all. Thanks. Keep them coming.

I don't. They're basically a cedar box with a seat on it. Apparently they come in kits and we haul up the pieces and assemble them on-site.
We're trying to do something to solve the "there's toilet paper all over the place" problem. Not that we can completely solve it but maybe lessen it.

I'll second malachite lake, also if you need assistance with hauling them up or assembly pm me I'm more than happy to help if I can get the time off, and if you need a representative to start getting some of these for the Gifford pinchot ( us 12 and 410) let me know and I can help there also.
I may not be the smartest, I may not be the strongest, but I don't want to be. I only want to be the best I can be.

Blanca lake does not but Virgin lake has 2, and seeing you can no longer camp at Blanca lake that should be adequate I'd think.MidLifeHiker wrote: | What about Blanca Lake, does it have one yet? I haven't been there in 4 or more years just because it has been overrun by hikers and with toilet paper and S$#T all over.

I can't think of anywhere in the Skykomish district but Jade Lake north of Mt. Daniel is an obvious candidate.
edit: or wait, is it in the Skykomish district? Since most access it from Cle Elum I assumed it was part of that district, but maybe not, it's not much farther to access it from Route 2.

Jade could certainly use one. Good suggestion.

You gotta supply that good Kirkland Costco two ply, none of that thin stuff like they use on the ferries.

Slim, thanks for your efforts and that of your team to do this much needed work.
How are these privies maintained? Are these just deep holes covered by the privy and they work until they are filled up? Does the Forest Service take care of them or is this something that the Hi-Lakers do as well? Do you all go check on the ones that are already in place to see if they need attention? This may be privileged information, but is there a list of locations that have privies already? Might be good to know.
It would be great if someone could post a good link to an online map of the Skykomish District. I could find printed versions, but not a very good online version. This one is fair, but hard to see any detail.
One place that needs one is Gothic Basin, but I imagine that is in the Darrington District. ?
Thanks, ~z

Gothic Basin had a backcountry toilet choppered in last fall. That was announced by press release.
