I forgot to take a picture Brown but I found a couple images that show a vault toilet that the NFS uses in many of our National forests. The idea is that it is too expensive to put a sewage system in at remote locations but the volume of the sewage is too much for a regular outhouse so they install a large concrete holding tank or "vault" that can be pumped out just a couple times a year with a sewage truck. They then put some chemicals in the vault that keep down the stink and have a freeze resistant property as well. On top of the vault they put a prefabricated shithouse. The newer ones are quite large to allow handicapped access. Note the skylight on top which is needed because no electricity is available. We did go camping to allow our Realtor to have a open house.
