Outhouses in the Flint Hills


These structures should be instantly recognizable as outhouses. Although the nearby cabin has running water, it is incredibly expensive to blast through the rock to install a modern septic system. 
Regardless, the outhouses (labeled Pointers and Setters by the original hunter/owner) are outfitted with lights, wallpaper, air freshener and padded seats. 
Other features include two seats per unit (although I have never known anyone who has shared their occupancy) and the ability to watch deer if you are alone.
The less appealing aspects of these charmers include their lack of heat and the occasional snake sighting on the trek back to the cabin.
