When you gotta go on the 395

Times are tough. When you gotta 'go,' where do you go in the Covid-19 era?

I'll admit that as a mom of 4 boys, I've had to stop the car *many* times to let them do what all boys (that I've raised, anyway) love to do -- pee behind a bush.  We've been forced to do this more recently, when we were unable to find a developed bathroom because of Covid closures. 

Its also obvious from the bottles filled with urine that line the roadside that some travelers are irresponsibly tossing their plastic-covered waste onto the land. Please be respectful of our Eastern Sierra home. If you pee in a bottle, please dispose of it in a rubbish bin, not on the land. And particularly if you have to do 'big business' in the wild, be responsible and pack it out or handle it responsibly using a (very deep) cat hole.

Here's our list of where you can 'go' along the 395.
