I'm not sure what a privy's existence has to do with one having lost or not his 
mind....but, I am reminded of the time i looked and looked for a privy at Brink 
Rd. Shelter in NJ. Again, I walked around a long time after dark looking for 
that privy that the sign said was --> and the blue blazes would have indicated 
as much. The next morning I found the privy...that wa just a tube and toilet 
seat on a wooden base. No structure around. I'd been very close to it several 
times the night prior. I was just looking for a 'buidling' and never looked 
knee-high.
