Rob, you've just answered your own question. Use tourism to make this place more enjoyable for all of us. I know that my solutions don't really fit in with whatever agenda you opened this thread with. But they are real and they are feasible and they will work to make Champagne Pond a better place for everyone.
And you are dead wrong...you do have a pony in this race...we all do.
The lava road hasn't changed as far as accessibility in the last 7 years, although I can't speak to it before that time.
If there are facilities for locals, campers et al to use at Champagne Pond paid for by the visitors, then that should solve the water quality and sanitation issues created by there being a lack of facilities, which is how you opened this thread. I can't make it any simpler than that.
And my name is Tony, btw.
