Ventura, CA Privy dig

[digdug]

Here is a link to an article about a privy dig in Ventura. Also has a video at the website. Pretty interesting-thought I would share it. I always like seeing articles on digging.
The article on yahoo is a shortened version. This link will take you to the Ventura County newspaper that has the complete article

Yup, I was just about to put that article up! []

But actually it looks like this one is a little different:

I hate that they make such a big deal about digging in smelly excrement. Maybe I've been fortunate but even diggin in a muddy privys I have never had a foul smelling dig. In fact maybe I'm weird but I love the smell of privy dirt. If it weren't for the seeds how would you know what your digging in? Maybe its good - leaves more privies for me.
