32 Days Until Trek - Potty Breaks on the Trail


Human beings belong to the animal kingdom. Like all animals, humans need to eliminate waste in order to stay healthy. Are you nervous about that part of Trek? Please don't be. Trek is so well organized, there will be support staff transporting "Porta-Potties," "Porta-Johns" or "Honeypots," whatever you prefer to call them, to each camp. You will have privacy and plenty of clean water and soap to stay clean and healthy. Please stay healthy and use these facilities as often as nature calls. And please don't be embarrassed about being human. Everyone else on Trek is as well. 

“On the trail, the universal rule as part of the morning routine was: ‘Gents to the right, ladies to the left.’ Women could retire from the camp in small groups and, by spreading their long skirts, provide screens for each other. Immigrants were frequently advised, rather decorously, to remember the ‘Law of Moses,’ meaning the restriction decreed in Deuteronomy 23:13: ‘And thou shalt have a paddle … when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee.’”

Selection from Stanley B. and Violet T. Kimball's 2011 book, Villages on Wheels: A Social History of the Gathering to Zion.

I think AI did pretty well on this one. If you don't read the post, you likely wouldn't know what the man's doing with the small shovel. My prompt included a description of my audience.
