Good trivia question actually. When did fuel gages become the norm? In the last century, I think I used the trip odometer as a good clue.

Most of the time when I have to pee, there ain't a ga station within 50 miles.
I have to confess, when I traveled by motorcycle, I tried to avoid Interstates and use US highways or state routes. There were times when the ol' bladder was hollerin' and there wasn't a service station in sight. I would find an area with a convenient pull over and wander back in the woods and search for a tree that looked rather dry and offered my services. I never had a problem with this approach although some folks react in horror when I mention this. The only times when I had any qualms about this was when I traveled in the hinterlands of Canada. I always suspected that whenever I pulled over there was a bear waiting in ambush for a motorcyclist to relieve himself. It never happened and my bear spray remains unused in my tank bag.

I’ve had to be creative a few times during those anxious moments when it’s time to go but no facilities ((or even a tree). I love the roads less traveled and have encountered stretches of 150+ miles of nothing but miles in the western US, CA, and AK.
The same strategies don’t work in all cases.
1. Plan ahead. Go before you go.
2. Realize that surveillance cameras are a thing.
3. Remote areas have little traffic except …….
4. Private landowners can be easily aggravated.
5. Make your best wind call.
6. Don’t squat on a rattlesnake or cactus.
That’s enough. More detail will lead to certain moderator action.

That is a good thing. The world is our toilet.
One time one of our radio techs was at a mountain top site and had to relieve himself. He forgot there was surveillance cameras and everyone in the communication center could see him...I’ve had to be creative a few times during those anxious moments when it’s time to go but no facilities ((or even a tree).
