YORK REDOUBT AND IT'S MAGICAL LATRINES
Hey all!
I always enjoy seeing "then & now" images so I though I'd throw this up for a laugh. We were out at York Redoubt today for a little hike snapping some pictures and one of the buildings I photographed was the Artillery Store/Canteen. When we got home I decided to see what other buildings used to be onsite and discovered that right behind the artillery store/canteen used to be a couple of outhouses. And what's onsite today 140 years later in the exact same spot as the latrines used to be? Oh, just a couple of WELL fertilized spruce trees!
Yuck.
