Hurricane Ridge-5366 (leica-users.org) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/misc/s/Hurricane+Ridge-5366.jpg.html> It wasn't until we asked the a ranger the second day that we learned what it meant.? They were only allowing 315 vehicles? to drive to the summit per day because last May, the lodge burned down, reasons not determined yet, and therefore they do not have adequate bathroom facilities available.? They have a few outhouses, but not enough to handle the usual summer load of 4-5 thousand visitors a day.? So, they do not want people wandering off into the trees to do their business because they do not want to wait in lines for the outhouses.? Ah, people who "love" the wilderness can be not so loving.
