Goodbye to the Two Holer


Last summer, John completed two new outhouses for the campground which were badly needed. The old two holer had become a recliner. The back end was sinking in the ground, making it quite difficult to get up after completing your business.

Using his indispensable backhoe/loader, John dug holes that were about 10 feet deep for the new toilets. No worry of them ever filling up. He also put clear plastic roofs on them, filling them with plenty of light to see, except at night of course.

Yesterday was the day set for the demise of the two holer since we still had enough snow on the ground to make it safe to burn it. He drove his backhoe/loader over to the toilet, then using his bucket, he began the demolition. It was fun to watch and probably fun to be the operator in the cab. After it was satisfactorily smashed flat, John lit a match to it and we had a bonfire. (Not one that we wanted to roast weiners over, however)

It's a lot nicer view now facing west from our dining room. And we hope our campers enjoy their new toilets.
