I was up on the Lemmon today and noticed that the "Johnny-on-the-Spot" that had been stuck in the gully at Punch and Judy Towers was sitting on the side of the road. There were orange cones and caution tape preventing anyone from attempting to steal it as a souvenir. Does anybody know who was responsible for its extraction? My guess is it would have taken a crane or climbers to haul it out. A big thanks goes to those who helped clean up that mess.

Looks like with a little glue and duct tape, they'd have a perfectly fine facility for the road construction crew that is up there now.

But seriously, this is awesome. Thanks a bunch guys!

I heard that Glen and Co. actually pushed the porta-john overboard about 3 years ago, waiting for the right moment to "recover" it so that they could make front page news! If you know Glen, then you know this may very well be true.
Love,
Dale
