Hope that isn't positioned over a patch of poison ivy :v: convienient tho - you can do your business and pick blueberries at the same time 
BTW, the reason there are two in close proximity is one for men and one for woman.

I actually had the chance to show these to my father recently.
He confirmed what I thought. Back in the Sawmill thread there was some dialogue on other types of things found. I had posted about a 2 hole outhouse still on the Fleming Pike property my family purchased in 1949. He confirmed these were exactly the same bases and they used the outhouses a bit until bees became an issue and my father pulled them down. He said he pulled the bases to the back end of the property in the woods with a tractor. I shall look for them when next I am out that way but there is some other stuff too so I hope I find them.
They were built of the WPA effort and the family that had them prior paid
$10.00 for the 2 holer.

Guy, They're exactly the same. I just don't know why there would be two that close together unless they were brought from somewhere else and this is their final resting place.
Hope your tick bite is healing. I thought you were kidding Sunday.

One for male and one for female. Thats what the man at that outhouse website told me.
I was wasn't kidding. Because it was this time of year I did not check myself well, and paid the price for it.
Guy
I continue to be amazed at that. Like I said Sunday... must be you.
Just kiddin'. The ticks on you did have me checking Sam over and my wife had him in the shower promptly as well. I just shed my clothes outside, gave 'em a shake looked me over & changed. They seem to have decided winter is not an issue. If us, such a fragile species can handle it, why not them?

I got a tick bite the weekend that I went out to Colliers Mills. I found one walking on me the last time I was out too.
Ticks I have no problem with. It's the chiggers that I hate.

Chiggers
I was a land surveyor in NJ from '83 until '00 and only had chiggers once and I spent a lot of time in the woods doing wetlands delineations. I moved to Western KY and had them more than once a season (spring to fall) every year. I moved back to NJ and the first trip I take into the pines (Harrisville) and my buddy gets them. I think I would have gotten them but since I have one prosthetic leg, they obviously picked the wrong leg to attack!
Lucky me.
We definitely need a good long hard freeze to cut them back. The climate, it's a changin!
One question to put me back on the original topic: How old are those concrete privies?

They were made by the Civilian Conservation Corp which was established on March 19, 1933 by FDR, and after WW2 Congress stopped funding it which caused it to end. So 1933 to 1946.

I take it then that privey diving wouldn't be a good idea in these things.
Thanks for the info Guy.
