Mrs Carmichael tries to stay as far away as possible from wild weather, wild water and wildebeest but the wild west has always appealed. I have no idea why!
This was taken in New Zealand’s South Island on my way back from a mini road trip to the West Coast (there is a wildness there too). There was something of the frontier about this town but the public loos were clean and most welcome.
For other wild images head straight on over to Where’s my backpack?

There’s nothing quite as nice as the wild west and a clean toilet! 🙂
A monkey after my own heart 🙂
You know, this could also be a great photo for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge. That Land Rover seems to be itching to go somewhere which would foreshadow another Mrs. Carmichael adventure and story!
I’m not absolutely sure that jeep is road worthy but then…..am I?
wild enough! 🙂 good pic! 🙂 http://holley4734.wordpress.com/
Thanks, Holley
I bet that jeep could tell a lot of wild stories!
I feel it could especially being parked opposite the town loos.
Hahahaaaa!!!! That was funny!
mrsc, you might need a clean loo after you’d been for a wild ride in that.
😀 😀 😀
Nothing better than being in the wild and having a clean loo. The two don’t normally go together 😀
Exactly why I felt it was worth a mention 🙂
Spooky; I think it has the same number plate as my old Mazda up in Auckland. Sorry … it’s a great photo, but I’m now totally distracted by this mystery
Hahaha – well that is a worry!
I just noticed it starts with a W and ends with a D – so a goody for wild.
You might have given me an idea for a short story.
Excellent! Look forward to reading it.
There is a certain cock-eyed wildness about that vehicle. I think it’s been up to no good. 🙂
Well Su Leslie (comment above yours) thinks it’s wearing her old number plate so I feel you may be onto something.
Haha, yes, I think so! Wonder what shenanigans Su Leslie has been up to? 🙂
Such a unique part of wildlife.
nice post.
es, creeping through the long grass comes the…..jeep, a rare breed.
“There was something of the frontier about this town…”
Are you quoting or correcting me, Sir?
Mrs C! You fail at something? No wildness in you… of all people?
Surely there must have been the odd wild night or heaven forbid… the odd wild(ish) storm in a mug of dark, whiskey laced coffee? 😉
Eeeew, I hate whiskey. One poor night on that stuff was enough for yours truly.
Oh my, I hope they cleaned down the seats for you.
I think the loo ones were but not so sure about the jeep 🙂
