2017 Year in Review

Our main theme for 2017 was “Get a house on our land” in Dewey, AZ.    This year, we accomplished that!

The year started with a February nude Caribbean cruise.  Amy and I visited several islands along with Lee, Steve, Kitty, Larry, and hundreds of other naked folk.  It was relaxing and exciting to sail naked and enjoy these exotic places.  The only downer of the trip was losing my front bridge of teeth in the ocean at the Grand Turkes (near the place we swam naked with the sting rays).  I guess a passing barracuda is wearing them now.

We enjoyed freehiking together, and with others on the Mingus Mountain Freehiking trail and in the desert near Shangri La.  Dan helped me clear the Mingus Mountain Freehiking trail.

Our land has beautiful views!  I often worked on the trails – many times nude.  I also nurtured a nude garden (the tomatoes did great this year).  As always, it felt great to be without clothes in nature.

In July we traveled north to attend a family reunion.  On the way we camped near Cedar Breaks national monument.

In August we finally finished the house on our land - what a relief after so long a wait.  Because we had to move from our Pre
scott Valley apartment, we lived the first few weeks of August on our land in our travel trailer until the house was completed.  But, at last we were able to live on our land and it was great!  We had waited so long.

The nature and meditation trail on our land was nearly complete, so I was able to walk free in nature nearly every day after throughout the year.  It has become a spiritual retreat for us.  We love this!

One day in September, Amy asked if I had heard from Rick Roller.  I explained that it had been months.  An hour later he called and explained that we needed to recruit Realtors again.  He’d discovered a super opportunity with a newer company – eXp Realty.  Later that day, I decided to go for it and called the local Real Estate school – the last class of the year was starting that night.  So, I’m off on a new venture, and hope to finish the Real Estate test before year end.

During October and November I constructed a shed on the side of our new house.  We needed a shed for the soft water unit we bought anyway, so I simply made it bigger to hold my tools and yard equipment.  It turned out great!  Not bad for an old guy.

Amy was busy beautifying the inside of the new home.  She added a fireplace/mantle, and two sliding barn doors, along with other features.

We spent Thanksgiving Day with family and then with friends celebrating the anniversary of our naked commitment ceremony at the Magic Circle in Quartzite, walking the new trails, eating out at the pizza place, and enjoying a wonderful meal cooked in sun ovens by Lee.

In December, Amy and I traveled to Yuma, stayed at a RV park for three days, and had our teeth fixed across the border in Mexico.  It’s amazing to look real again after losing my teeth in the ocean!

So we love our life, living free of clothing, and enjoying the outdoors naturally often.
