One of our first priorities is of course setting up a good outhouse instead of everyone heading upstream to find their favorite rock to lean up against. This was not as easy as it sounds as the whole area is nothing but rocks. We only got two feet down before we encountered another big boulder so we chose to go up with it. We will pour a 24" foundation and annually or so it will have to be dug out. The inside will be made so it is easy to remove to accomplish this.
