On our way to Lassen Volcanic National Park.
On a national forest rest stop and vista point, wifey went to the rest room.
But it was posted "Closed due to lack of funding."
And down on these national forest roads are trucks barreling down with full loads of logged timbers on the national forest.
It's not hard to do the math that one of those trucks can. pay for the maintenance of that entire rest stop and the rest rooms.
Bigly sad!
We have seen this around the PNW forest with some campgrounds closing early or no services at tourist areas that used to have them.
AT Union Creek Oregon on the way to Crater Lake NP. the restrooms have not been clean up for a few years now, no trash cans so the trash goes on the ground. ( Thanks to the Rogue River NF. )
To take care of this problem I got a cargo van and converted it to a camper van so we have our potty with us all the time, and we use it to tow our trailer for longer trips.
