The Pink Outhouse – how it got its name

We used to do a lot of back-woods camping. Since, we canoed and portaged to the small islands on Ontario’s Lake of the Woods; it was real primitive camping we did. There are no outhouses (primitive privies) in the natural woods; so we would always designate an area for this use. For privacy’s sake, I would string ropes through the trees, and drape colourful sheets over them to make “walls”. My companions used to laughingly refer to this cordoned-off area as the “Pink Outhouse”.
