Behind the car door at a pullout in the woods

[Carb0nBased 647]

This past weekend I was driving home from a short hike, and part of the way along the road passes through some woods where another more popular hiking trail starts (not the one I had walked on myself that day). There is limited parking right by the trailhead, so on weekends/holidays the cars often "overflow" to a series of dirt pullouts along the outside curves of the road for quite some distance in either direction. There is also a porta-potty at this particular trailhead, which is actually rare in this area (presumably the popularity induced someone to put it there), but of course they're not all along the road elsewhere.

The trailhead is at the bottom of a long hill, which I was driving down, and when I went around one of the curves, I noticed that on the opposite side of the road there were two cars parked, with the front doors of one of the cars open. There was a guy sitting on the driver's side, and on the side opposite the road, I could see a person's feet under the open passenger door, and a woman's head behind the window of the door, though I wasn't close enough to tell any of what she looked like. It looked like she was sitting or crouched rather than standing upright based on how low her head was to the ground, and I thought of the possibility that she had just finished popping a squat? Though I hadn't seen any sort of puddle or anything under the door by her feet to suggest this, it would have been a quite good spot for it. As I described, this is on a winding road on a hill, and the pullout was on the downhill sloping side, and unlike the others along that road, this one just happened to have a bunch of dirt made into a sort of berm separating it from the slope. It was probably left there from when the road had last been worked on, and had the advantage that you didn't have to worry about driving over the edge when parking there--but for our purposes it makes a nice enclosed area together with a parked car in which to squat. 

I decided that just on the off chance that this is what happened, I would come back there in a bit. I drove past the trailhead, turned around, and parked in another pullout a few curves down the hill from where that car had been. That would let me leisurely walk up there and check it out while making sure that car had left (and the people who had been sitting in the other car at the same pullout to leave). Coincidentally, upon getting out of my car, I saw that there was in fact a wet spot on the dirt in THAT pullout, but right at the edge of the road rather than on the passenger side. As there were people getting in their car right in front of me, I left investigating that for when I got back to my car. 

When I got up to the pullout with the dirt berm, the car that had had its doors open was long gone, yet there was no wet spot of any kind visible. However, there was a tissue on the ground. That itself wasn't odd--in fact as many pullouts I see HAVE tissues lying there as don't (damn littering!)--but together with my observation when driving by, it encouraged me to look closer by digging a bit in the ground. And lo and behold, next to the dirt embankment, not far from the tissue, was a wet spot just under the surface. It was very neatly covered over with a thin layer of dry dirt, but the liquid was still very noticeably warm. It didn't smell like much of anything really, though when I touched it, there was a subtle scent of pee on my hand. It didn't have a smell that would have given me the definitive idea that it had been a woman, had I not seen it right after being made--it was just like earthy with some "average" pee mixed in. The tissue was only very slightly damp and also only had a subtle scent to it, that quickly disappeared.

When I got back to my car, I investigated the other wet spot. It had an unmistakeable fruity scent to it, and no hint of pee smell--so it probably was made by someone pouring out the last of something like flavored mineral water upon returning from their hike.

So to summarize, this sighting was special in that I saw the moment right after the puddle was made, and found the wet spot still warm, but I didn't catch anything of what she looked like or whether she was in any way attractive, and aside from the warmth there was really nothing attractive/interesting about the wet dirt itself.

I totally understand your approach, if I were you I'd have investigated using the same method...

Funnily enough, I too have found, quite a few times, on/near beaches, dirt-roads and loose terrain locations that women (unlike the male counterparts) just after having peed towards the ground, try and hide the wet spot by loose sand and/or soil.. It's very productive to dig a little sometimes...

Do you ever do that yourself? 😉
I do imagine that it makes them feel less naughty to do this.

For those who are curious, this is what the dug-up wet spot looked like:
