the bathroom "scale"

 Remember when we encountered the dead fish in the sink at Monocacy Park?

While walking on Tuesday in Ohio, we encountered an awful restroom. During that walk we came up with a bathroom "scale". On each walk, instead of us telling you the dirty details of how disgusting the potties were, we'll just give them a number.

Kind:
L   Latrines/outhouse
P   Port-o-potties        
I    Indoor                   

Scale:
0    Locked. My least favorite kind of restroom.
1    Disgusting/gross/foul, no running water or hand sanitizer 
1.5 Disgusting/gross/foul, running water or hand sanitizer
2    Dirty, no running water or hand sanitizer
2.5 Dirty, running water or hand sanitizer
3    Clean, no running water or hand sanitizer
3.5 Clean, running water or hand sanitizer
4    Very clean, no running water or hand sanitizer
4.5 Very clean, running water or hand sanitizer
5    Impeccable.

So the bathroom Thursday at the recycle center would be a I-1. Pretty much useless. Unless you are having a gut bomb. Clearly useless when you fall.
The park in Xenia would be a I-1
Riverside park in Louisville would be  a I-3.5. They had fountains that worked and signs that said, break the bottle habit.
The Y in Frankford was probably a I-4.5. After all it was the locker room. It was also hot and steamy.
And Fairy Hill was a P-4.5 Actually I wanted to give this bathroom a 5, but no hand sanitizer. This was single handily the nicest port-o-potty I've ever used. (Our tax dollars at work.) It was huge and wheelchair accessible. So glad I didn't go in the woods.

I generally hope for a 3. And if they have TP it's even better. I generally always have tissues.
