best lodge for dropping trow and sitting down...Snowbasin for sure.

One of the worst places I had to go last year was at the top of the Jackson Tram...composting toilet...could feel the cool, smelly breeze rushing past my junk. I'm not squeamish about it either...its gotta be pretty nasty to get to me...10 years of playing rugby you end up in some pretty nasty porta pottys...especially at tournaments...20 teams, 25 players per team...500 dudes using a handfull of green coffins on a hot steamy day....mmmmm.

That would be no problem for me. I can take a piss anywhere! And I have only found a few crappers that have made me decide to wait, and almost all were of the portable variety.

I have an English buddy who grew up attending that drunken spectacle called the football match. It's a constant drizzle so everybody wears long London Fog-style rain coats. The drunks will give you a "hot pocket". They whip it out, stick it in your raincoat pocket, and let 'er fly.

Not a fan of the composting toilet. There is a reason running water was invented. Portojohns have their place in the world, but 'green toilets' where water is available, do not.

The rest area in Mass on 95 in Salisbury has the same thing. I'll wait until I'm on route 1 and stop somewhere else.

Generally I am in tune with the US atomic clock. It really pisses off the wife. But sometimes when skiing out west, there are issues on the slopes. The time changes, altitude increases, food, and alcohol consumption sometimes causes the clock to get out of synch. Without question the best top of the mountain facility I have used is in the Seattle Ridge Lodge at Sun Valley. It reminded me of one of those $500,000 membership country clubs that I have played at (business invitations) that wouldn't let me in even if I had the money. There was marble every where, yet the floors were never wet. There was some low music playing, good size stalls with plenty of hooks, and so clean I thought about taking taking off my ski boots. I think the floors were heated. The place was heaven.

The worst are the 2 wooden outhouses at the top of the Straight Brook Quad at the top of Gore Mountain. Thankfully I have never had to drop a duce in those bad boys.

Another "shit while running" story.

On our high school track team we had a very good 800 guy. One day he runs a great race and wins the event with a personal best. He crosses the finish line and exclaims "I shit my pants!" for all to hear. We are roaring with laughter. The track coach trying to smooth things over says "Yea you really ran a great race". The kid says "No I really shit my pants". I never laughed so hard in my life.

Used the squat crapper in Italy right across the street from where Romeo was crooning for Juliet.Maybe he was asking to use her hopper?The weirdest one I used was on a train in China.Simply a toilet seat over a hole in the train car.You looked tight down through and fertilized the tracks.Pretty airy dump though!

As recently as the early 70's, the WC on the trains on the NJ Transit Shore line had the same thing. You'd step on the flush pedal and get a view of the stones on the tracks below.

I've ridden local trains in Italy and Spain that are like that.
