Vantage Toilet Project - WCC/AAC/Mountaineers


AAC-PNW

Recommended Posts

Hey All - I just posted some pics of some of the work completed thus far at Vantage. This joint project with the WCC, AAC and the Mountaineers is underway (thanks in large part to the Frenchman Coulee Climbers Coalition for providing some seed money).

 

We've had a few successful events already at the Mountaineers, Feathered Friends and Edgeworks, and we'd love to keep the momentum up!

Yahoo. This is really needed. Climbers and campers can not always plan their poops optimally and the result is unsanitary! Let's keep this project moving forward.

 

One question: Why is Fish & Wildlife charging access fees and providing nothing?

 

On the bright side, one can visit a third-world type environment without big travel expenses. ;-)

Because the legislature said they can. Actually, the mission of WDFW is not to supply hiker and climber access. WDFW provides bird habitat and hunter access at Potholes and Frenchmans Coulee's, and at Potholes reservoir, as well as a boat launch at the bottom of the road. This is actually a ton more ammenities than is required of WaDNR land for enforcement of the Discover Pass
