The True Story of the Raccoon Who Bites Bootys

So as you know I went to Crivitz w/my aunts .... and we ended the trip with a visit to Goodman park. Which is absolutely beautiful. It has mini waterfalls and great hiking paths, and if you like to canoe you are set.
However, what it doesn't have is lights in it's outdoor bathroom. They are totally wooden and no lights.
So basically you sit on this wooden bench w/a hole in it and go.
I don't mind using port a potties. I used one several times the day before at the craftshow.
However, when I can't see what is in the hole I freak, especially in the woods.
Especially when I have seen more roaming wildlife than I am used to. Did I mention I don't camp?
As we enter said bathroom I freak. My aunt offers to hold the door open to let more light in ... I do this shaking all the while and not letting my booty rest on anything but air. Thank god I have started working out. My aunt is laughing as I wash my hands asking me what I was afraid of.
I said that something might jump up through the hole and bite my butt.
She asks what? I say a raccoon. She asks where I got that idea.
The Great Outdoors w/John Candy.
To which aunt number two says I need to quit watching movies. (Sidenote this comment will be explained in my blog later)
On my second trip to the loo aunt number one pounds the wooden benches in the loo so anything in it runs out and aunt number two holds the door for me again and says you might want to hurry there is a guy outside and he can see you.
I do hurry only to find I am again the victim of a prank.
Moral of the story - raccoons do not live in port a potties no matter how nice.
