I don’t have Facebook, so couldn’t see the content, and I don’t plan on creating an account just to see it.

Every time I use a toilet like the one on Mt. Walker I always think that I wouldn’t want to accidentally drop my phone down the hole.
I've always been paranoid about my keys falling out of a pocket; I zip 'em up. But that might be easier to fish out with a stick. Ugh.
I’m in the same boat as you. Smartphones are easier to replace than keys to a vehicle.

I don't either but they will let you peek for a while. Here is a photo of the rescuers basking in their newfound fame with the offending pooper in the rear. The dog leash and dismantled section visible as well.

Rich, it wouldn’t let me even have a peek. It immediately asked for me to login to see it. Most Facebook profiles associated with government agencies let you look without an account, but not this one, for me at least.

It appears that Fox News, the Brinnon FD et al are being kind and not publicizing the name of the unfortunate "victim". Try living down having your name associated with this humiliating incident on the interwebs forever. It would likely come up on the first page of a prospective employer's google search of you. huh.gif

Interview question: tell me about a time when you overcame adversity.

You didn't miss anything. Same write-up and photo as the original article. Just a lot of comments that are what you would expect.

Sounds like she struggled for awhile. I bet'cha she was pooped!
