Okay, there is a blue Porta Potty stuck upside down, door ajar, in a chimney on Punch & Judy towers. It is perfectly set like a #400 Stopper--a ten-foot sling and it'd be perfect pro. It's about 100 feet below the road and 30 feet up the chimney, just right of Lizard Marmalade. It can't possibly be there accidentally. There has to be a great story behind this.

I'm pretty sure that porta-potty was sitting in the Windy Point parking lot a few days before the end of road reconstruction in 2003..

Then the next day they reported on the news it had been thrown off the cliff..
