Outdoor Toilet


    Yesterday, I joined a few others in a hike up the Boulder Mountain Trail.  As we just started our trek, we came upon this outdoor toilet.  Normally in North America, outdoor toilets are called “outhouses”, but since outhouses have sides and a roof, I am not sure that this qualifies. 
    The whole idea of an outhouse is to provide a bit of privacy.  That is what I don’t understand about this thing, since it doesn’t provide privacy, why spend all the time and effort building it?  It seems like it would be a whole lot easier just to go behind a bush.
