Best PRIVY on the AT

[firemountain]

There are so many, and I may have used most of them! A couple that come to mind as being different than normal. The privy at the shelter just south of High Point Sate Park in NJ is the fanciest hands down. A giant heavy duty porta potty type design with a real door handle and even a solar panel on the roof (not sure what for though). There was a shelter in VT that had a 'famous' gazebo privy which had been relocated from a shelter that is now on private land and no longer an official AT shelter. All sides were identical. I would say Eckersville, but when I stayed the privy was locked for the winter. I hear it flushes though...

One that comes to my mind.... at the new bromely Mtn shelter just above rt 11 in Vermont.

There's one in the 100-mile with cute little windows and curtains and magazines for reading... I forget which.

The one at/for the Fontana Dam Shelter: Flush toilets, electric lights, running water, HEATED

Cosby Knob shelter, replacing a VERY over used "privy area".

Wise Shelter, no roof, no walls, up on a pedestal, windy location. Temp at time of use (not counting wind chill) about 10o. Yet I liked it, go figure.

The Cloudland Privy at Thistle Hill Shelter in Vermont.

Can't remember the shelter, but in VA, just North of Damascus, there is one called the Lorax privy. It's really just a nice, clean above-grounder, but it's my favorite because the entire text of Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" is painstakingly printed on the walls. So far, no jerks have ruined it with the usual cwap.

The "privy" at Fontana Dam became the privy after segration ended. Before then it was the seperate but equal "colored" restroom.
The privy in the 100mile with curtans is at Antlers Campground. My nomination for the best privy is the one at Piazza Rock, "Your Move" is a 2 hole privy with a cribbage board between the seats,

Does the one still exist with the clown's mouth for the hole?

Also what about the 2-seater(Piazza?) with the backgammon board in between?

Though not directly on the AT here's an outhouse thats worth a visit. Its about 6 miles off the AT a little south of Milford, PA., near High Point State Park. This may be one of the most expensive "two holers" in the country.

Hands Down, this is the best Privy on the AT (and it's in CT of course)

[Roland]

When in need, the best privy is the nearest one!

[Tin Man]

Unfortunately, there is rarely a privy around when I need one. The upside is the cathole I use has plenty of ventilation.

Very romantic opinions posted above, but lies all!

Nothng beats an AMC Clivus Multrum at a hut.
