Yep. And it gets worse when the sun is beating down on it.

That doesn't sound to bad. I could deal with that. Port-a potty or worse?

I guess it depends on the outhouse. I have been in some that were not that bad and some that darned near knocked me out.

Depends on when was the last time it got cleaned out, but they're pretty evenly matched. Both stink pretty bad under the sun. Portapotty is probably better in the cooler weather though.

We seem to know our ****.

Remember how I went to Otter Lake a few weeks ago? They've got flushable toilets in their outhouses now. Well, not all of them, but there's two of them.

We haven't been there in quite awhile. I think sometime when we are returning from the Merritt direction we'll have to take that way home.

I think when the facility takes on such an upgrade as the ability to flush, it is no longer to be considered an outhouse. Running water is just too "modern" to be a part of that distinction.
