Description
Colorado outhouse photo, a black and white print of a primitive rustic privy located in the alpine ghost town of Independence, Colorado. It is one of the highest outhouses in the USA at 10,830 feet. A perfect way to add the rustic beauty of the west to your home, office, or bathroom decor.

The term outhouse is used in North American English for the structure over a pit toilet. The structures are referred to by many other terms throughout the English-speaking world including dunny in Australia and bog in the United Kingdom. The terms kybo and biffy are unique to the Scouting movements. In New Zealand such toilets are referred to as long-drops.

Independence is a ghost town in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is located just off State Highway 82 in the eastern corner of Pitkin County, below the Continental Divide. It was the first settlement established in the Roaring Fork Valley, after gold was struck in the vicinity on Independence Day, July 4, 1879, hence its name. In 1973 it was recognized as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Independence and Independence Mill Site, one of two ghost towns in the county so recognized. It has also been known historically by other names—Chipeta, Mammoth City, Mount Hope, Farwell, Sparkill and Hunter's Pass.

Your description cracks me up! We have a mountain cabin and last week I was running to the outhouse in the dark, slipped on some ice and really whacked my toe. It gives me empathy for those hardy, old time mountain dwellers.

Hd to pick between the black and white color version of this cool shot. Each has such a different mood. v/f

Thanks Bob! I like the DOF on the color better, but the b/w seems to fit the subject.
