Freehiking with Friends

Friday (3/10/2017) Amy and I shared our area in north-central Arizona with friends from Saskatchewan Canada, where they host a non-landed club.  They were heading home after staying at Shangri La Ranch for a month.  We previously freehiked in the Tonto Natural Forest with them where the vegetation was mostly cactus.  This time we hiked at our higher elevation where the vegetation was very different - forest.  We freehiked the trails on our land, then our Secret Nude Trail on Mingus Mountain, and then visited Jerome where we ate dinner.  The cool feeling of shade, the sun in open areas warming our bodies, quiet-naked exertion, friendly conversation - walking naked in nature with friends is wonderful.  It was so nice sharing these moments.  Saying goodbye with a friendly hug ended a great day, but hopefully not forever.  We may visit them up north in the future, and there is always next year when they visit Shangri La again.  Here are a few photos of our marvelous day together.
