Went to the Rocky Mountain National Park over the weekend – had a blast. (photos forthcoming after I sort through them)
Took my mom, who’s never been. Heck – I’ve never been either! I’ve been to Estes Park before, but it was late and we never actually made it any farther.
Anyway – a funny thing happened (well – more than one but STAY FOCUSED!).Â
There was this rather nice looking young couple who asked me if I’d take their photo for them – which I did. Nice camera too. I next saw them at one of the little pull-off’s where you can park, take more photos and, most importantly – use the facilities.
Now, the facilities aren’t what most people are used to – especially if they’ve grown up in the city. For my part, I was impressed that they were clean and didn’t stink, no flies – typical stuff you see at ‘rustic’ rest areas. The female half of the nice couple, however, was not imporessed at all.
She was approaching the facilities and gave her honey a little peck, walked in and walked right back out again saying, "I don’t have to go that bad."
From a guys perspective – they were great! Basically a toilet over a giant hole in the ground – which gives us something to aim for. From a gals perspective, what with having to sit down over a giant gaping black hole that disappeared into nothingness, I can see where she didn’t want to give it a try…
It really amused me though…
