Staying clean in camp showers
A very important question: When the campground shower floor is muddy, how do you manage to get your pants back on without getting your pants dirty? (I'm not a fan of streaking. . .)

I'm sure this subject regarding cleanliness in showers and restrooms can be debated for a very long time and I want to leave a final thought. Many of us that feel and look healthy can and do carry many forms of intestinal parasites that we don't realize we have because we may be asymptomatic. Some that can be acquired in an unsanitary condition are hook worms(bare feet touching infected surfaces), tape worms, round worms(younger children get it and is not uncommon) and ringworms.
Myself, I've personally gotten a bad case of poison oak from using the same public restroom over a period of 3 days. I feel it was from the handles and door knobs because we'd not been on any trail of any sort and mostly stayed in the rv or in town. And then there was the athletes foot that I got using a public shower. In 40 years after high school I'd never had a case of athletes foot until then so I don't feel particularly more susceptible than anyone else.
