Finding Long-term Housing in Grand Marais by April 1, 2025 There's nothing like a good outhouse, and one of the foremost attributes of Grand Marais and its outer reaches is a handsome offering of pit toilets. When my wife and I were living in Grand Marais out of a campervan we relied mostly on pit toilets for dumping our 5.5 gallon porta- potty black water tank, much the way our forebears may have dumped deposits from a chamber pot into the pit of a nearby privy.
