Mtnbiken, good for you! Such a feeling of relief to find get back in the saddle, huh? Those souther California hills sure are rugged, aren't they?
Snap, in the old days the camping version of the portapotty was just an old ammo can that left an, um, er, groove in your nether reqions.

You ladies inspire me! Right now my next big ride is going to be around my block!
Nah as soon as the rain quits I'm going to get myself out and on the road I have plans, big plans to do at least 3 local cycling events this year and I am determined!Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.

I *found* your journals via another thread and have been reading your journals from your trip to Ireland. As I have a trip to Ireland planned for 2006 I've enjoyed your insight and sharing your adventures.

I'm not sure if this counts as Epic, but I am planning my first century for late June. Also in July I will bike across Michigan, my first multiday tour. The ride is called the Michigander.
It's finally above 40 today and not raining or snowing, so this is my first day back out on the road bike. YAHHOOO happy Easter everyone.

There's a lot of "lore" that goes along with a groover ( aka honey bucket) The trainee guides are the ones that get to pack it on their boats, that is the lowest guys in the pecking order. There is the discussion of "great view" over "privacy" for locating. Most groover had a little book that would go with it, for people to write down thier thoughts for the day etc.
The principal, as SK said, is to pack out solid human waste. When you have a group of people toileting in the same area, digging a latrine is unacceptable. For rivers especially where you have different groups using the same beach night after night, it's unthinkable. Packing out human waste is a legal requirement for many kinds of guided trips, it can be a part of the permit requirements.2015 Liv Intrigue 2
