Vickie Sanders, the counties Rubicon specialist, introduces the Yellow Bandana and explains the campaign's focus on
Sanitation on the Rubicon. With ever increasing numbers of human users
on the Rubicon Trail, the importance of
Pack out MORE than you pack in becomes critical to keeping the Trail open.
Carry and use a Wag Bag. No Wag Bags in toilets. Toss Wag Bags in any trash.
What's wag Bag? Ask someone with a Yellow Bandana. They should know!
The purpose of the Yellow Bandana Campaign to Eradicate the "white flowers" on the Rubicon is to draw close attention by users to the complete issue of Sanitation on the Trail, not just those unsitely, unsanitary toilet paper florets.
