This sign at the entrance to the Hurricane Ridge road had us scratching 
our heads.

It wasn't until we asked the a ranger the second day that we learned 
what it meant.  They were only allowing 315 vehicles  to drive to the 
summit per day because last May, the lodge burned down, reasons not 
determined yet, and therefore they do not have adequate bathroom 
facilities available.  They have a few outhouses, but not enough to 
handle the usual summer load of 4-5 thousand visitors a day.  So, they 
do not want people wandering off into the trees to do their business 
because they do not want to wait in lines for the outhouses.  Ah, people 
who "love" the wilderness can be not so loving.
