One of the great little towns of SE Alaska is Elfin Cove. They actually have a "city dock" which you are welcome to tie up to for a overnight stay. The town itself is up over the bank in the background of the picture. The real purpose of this blog entry is the Porta-Potty at the end of the dock. Although it is a modern outhouse, it does lack a door. Did I also mention that this newer generation outhouse never needs to be pumped out. You see, the outhouse does not have a holding tank. As deposits are made, they are immediately recycled back into the water below. So much for privacy or dropping a crabpot over the stern of your boat! I'll bet there are some very large Dungeness crabs taking up residence here, King crab live next to upscale communities that have sewer treatment facilities!
