“I don’t wanna see other people naked, I wanna be naked.  I wanna be completely immersed in the elements without the burden of a wet, cold, clingy swimsuit.  I don’t want any barriers between me, the surf, the sand and the sun.  I just wanna commune with Mama Nature in the only way that makes sense to me. . . While camping at a local provincial park, I’d sometimes swim out into deep water, whip off my swim trunks, bob around for a little bit, and then put my shorts back on before heading back to shore.  Silently I wanted nothing more than to wade out of the water naked and stroll along the beach in comfort, all the while working on my all-over George Hamilton-style tan.” - –Wayne Brake, Young Naturists & Nudists America, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturist-epiphany-part-1/

“After reaching a healthy level of exhaustion gardening nude one evening, we drove down to the clubhouse, took a shower, and joined a small group of people in the spa – ah, how warm water relaxes sore muscles.  Over time the spa filled with 25 people.  Three older children (9 and 10) joined us.  They were received naturally without comment and were very well behaved.  They enjoyed running from the spa to the (cold) pool where they jumped high into the air and landed with a splash – no swimming suits and no anxiousness about enjoying the water naked with several dozen adults.” - Kenfreehiker

[I] “. . . started the naked weekend. . . The campfire smoke went almost perfectly straight up and temps in the upper 80s all three days with cool-ish nights very suitable to stay naked by the warmth of the fire. . . After setting up camp and having dinner we watched the best ‘television’ in the world as it burned for hours.  Saturday . . . was the most relaxing and enjoyable day . . . Dee made us breakfast and then we both just laid around naked for about two hours reading and talking before heading out for a couple hours hiking. . . poking down some abandoned trails and a few game trails (without a backpack) made it one of the most enjoyable naked hikes I’ve ever taken. . . Sunday morning we took our time breaking camp and then drove to another similar batch of trails.  Dee was more interested in reading so she hung out at the truck while I headed out for a few miles on a nearly concealed trail. . . So 48+ hours after I pulled out of the driveway naked I put my shorts back on about 5 minutes from the house on the drive home.  With the exception of that pair of shorts, I had no dirty clothes for the entire weekend – not even a pair of socks. – John
