Naked backpacking, camping and geocaching
Well spent Christmas in July (July 25-27) in my skin while backpacking in Central
Florida. One of the wildlife management areas has a network of trails
and 3 backcountry campsites. Hardly anyone backpacks in Florida in the
Summer, so that's when I go.
Had to cover a little at the trailhead,
so had an "apron" made from a weighted dish towel tucked under the
hipstrap in the front of the pack. The sleeping bag on the bottom of the
pack extends past my butt, so I don't need cover there. As soon as I
was out of sight of the road, I tucked the apron away on the side of the
pack frame.
The first time I stopped for water, I found that the
apron had fallen off somewhere. No big deal, I figured I would find it
hiking out (which I did on Sunday). Losing the apron just meant I would
be hiking "without a safety net" so to speak. But with high predicted
heat indexes, and past experience of summertime hiking in Florida, I
knew the chance of meeting anyone was slim, and if I did meet someone,
they would understand me hiking nude.
It was a peaceful 3
clothing-free days. I did a little geocaching while venturing out from
camp. Only took GPS and water bottle for that. I did actually meet
another hiker near the third geocache. I said hello, then simply
about-faced and headed back toward camp at the same pace i had
approached. I didn't want to seem to be running and hiding, but the
other hiker seemed startled at my appearance, and I didn't want him to
feel too awkward.
Saw no one else hiking back out, and did recover my apron from the middle of the trail (undisturbed).
Each year, we have a "fathers/sons" long weekend in Death Valley, CA. I'm the only nudist of the group. This is a group of guys, mostly firemen, that I used to work with. Our fearless leader, he used to be one of my firemen, has stated many times that he'd like to do this trip twice a year but go with others, like me, that would like to do the trip naked. He's not a nudist but he's catching on to the freedom nudity provides and he's even researched a nude hot springs area out there that he said he'd like us to go visit. He's always wanted to go but since he's never been to a nude place, he wants me to go with him and show him the ropes! hahaha
Now that I have my own 4x4 vehicle, I think we'll plan a naked hiking, camping and hot springs trip out there next year or later this year. I'll need to give him a call and get him to start planning it. :D I've never done geocaching but we did visit our friends out in CO and we went hunting for arrowheads, petrified wood and colorful stones and we did that naked. It was fun to watch my wife roaming and exploring the plains of COnaked. :-)
