I wish I knew where an outhouse was in Orlando. Hopefully someone will find one soon. :frusty:

Parks or camp grounds around here tend to have real bathrooms with plumbing, not outhouses. I can't even think of the last time I saw an outhouse.

Same here. There use to be a public outhouse in Cowgill MO, right behind the City Hall, but I checked in September and it was no longer there.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Next up...your bike in front of or by an outhouse. Not one of those jiffy johns like at a construction sight....but a genuine outhouse. :mrgreen:
You have to show us your pic in front of said outhouse that is how the game works. It would be rather easy otherwise. :D

Sorry Trevor, Blues had to show a picture of her bike with a curved road ahead sign to make the current challenge finding an outhouse to take a picture with.

Before winter set in I travelled every back road in my area looking for an outhouse. As jstark states, parks have facilities that look like outhouses but they lack the panache of the real thing. Of course the seach is what makes this game interesting.

I can't believe that an outhouse is holding up the game...don't you have camp sites nearby?? or a provincial park? day use area at a lake? if it wasn't winter here (and my bike wasn't out of commission) it wouldn't be too hard...

you only have three more months... :P

Later.

NJ is a heavily populated state, and I think environmental regulations and sensitivity have put an end to the traditional outhouse. Even pretty remote park areas in the Pine Barrens (the closest we have to wilderness) have restrooms served by plumbing now.

Now, upper central Pennsylvania (Pennsyltucky) would be a different story. But that's 150 miles from here - too far to ride just to get a pic to post on TMW!! :mrgreen:
