I remember the outhouse in winter. Brrrrrrr is only half of it. We lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where temperatures can drop to minus 30.

And I remember one time when I was about 7 when I tried to go back to the house, there was a brown bear on the path!

I remember washing in the creek because we didn't have a bathroom. It was easier in the summer than having Mom haul the water. And I remember taking turns in the tub in the kitchen with the wood stove keeping us warm.

And I remember the time the cat decided to land on the hot stove pipe. Poor cat!

This was not at camp---This was every day. I sure appreciate hot & cold running water now.
