Go! When I lived in Alaska, I was at the Seaside, uh, hostel camping out for the whole summer, and we had to use outhouses, and the main one was really disgusting, but you could walk down into the woods and you sit and you have this view of this glacier And it was so incredible. You just wanted to be there for a while. Don't breathe but open your eyes wide. No, no. And that one was barely used because it was kind of a hike and didn't smell, had a great view. It was the best outhouse I've ever been to. There you go. Where is it? Highly recommend. In Homer, Alaska. Homer, Alaska. Yeah, this is our top outhouse short. There you go.
