View From The Outhouse Door! My Dedication To Bre...
Here are a couple of nice scenery pictures...kinda pretty huh?
So here's the story...So many people tell me about their camping trips and Moosehead Chalet's and how they "rough it" and have a pretty good time. Well, these same people refuse to go to the bathroom in an outhouse! How can you call it Roughing It if you still need the luxury of indoor plumbing? Outhouses aren't all that bad. Yes, you get the occasional spider (which I hate immensely) and sometimes a mosquito will take a chunk out of your butt and the smell isn't the most pleasant smell in the air (stick ups help!), but it's another one of those cases where it's all in the way you look at the experience. Take these pictures above for instance. This is the view from our own outhouse on the Carrabasset River. Crystal clear water running and beautiful rock formations from years of water pounding against them, the calming sound of waterfalls not too far away, and you might even see a cute chipmunk run by from time to time. I don't think the whole outhouse experience is all that bad. You certainly don't get a view like this in your own bathroom at home do you? NO! I didn't think so. So, the next time you are out in the woods roughing it or visiting a camp ground or even hanging at a friends home away from home, and you need to go potty, close your eyes, open that outhouse door, and picture the view that I get every time I use ours...It really does help if you look at the beauty in the experience!
