Sassafras Gap privy, NC

When we were there in \'98 this was the worse privy I\'d ever seen. I rated it a -4! I opened the door and was amazed at the swarm of green flies inside. We were going to spend the night at the shelter but decided to move on.

I absolutely HAD to go when I reached this shelter. When I walked towards the privy, I heard another hiker say \"We\'ll see if he comes back or not, then we\'ll know it\'s safe.\" Didn\'t make it past the threshold. I ran back to the shelter to grab a shovel I\'d seen leaning against the shelter, then made my peace.
Stay far, far away.

Been by it twice. Things that make you wanna go....bbbbwwwuauuuh

Used it in 2005 on a dare. At the time, the "seat" was half gone. You sort of had to perfect the hover method. I now know I can go into any restroom anywhere in the world and not be offended.

This privy does make one long for the "open air" versions, doesn't it?!!!!!

I sure didn't step inside this one!
