Sometimes it is difficult to find privacy on the trail. Bushes aren't tall enough, trees aren't wide enough, too many members of the opposite sex are scouring the nearby land for firewood. Any number of factors can contribute to your need to hike another 5 miles with orange trowel in hand to find the perfect place to do your business.
But nothing...
nothing, I say...says privacy like the privy at Wise Shelter on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. This is about 20 yards off the trail. A pit toilet. On a platform. Up four stairs. With no walls. No coverage. No curtain. Ladies and gentlemen, please check your modesty at the trailhead and proceed to the highest point for some
pubic public humiliation.

My memory is a little foggy, but I'm pretty sure that big billboard says something like "HEY! CHECK OUT THIS HIKER! SHE'S TAKING A DUMP ON A STAGE!"
And yes...I used it.
