From today's Daily News:
It's hard to be surprised by what you find on Meetup.com, the online home for local groups of various stripes, from conservative constitutionalists to vegans to stroller moms to adult children of alcoholics. But a couple weeks ago, I came across a group that stood out from the rest: Alaska nude hikers.
They called themselves "Anchorage Naturists." They said they were "a low-key, non-sexual social group for naturist-minded Alaskans," a way for people to meet who liked to do things that were "simply more comfortable in the buff."
The group has nine members and a couple of hikes scheduled on local trails. They have a busy message board. A post announcing an upcoming hike suggests hikers meet at Carrs on Huffman and bring "a sack lunch, boots, and layers that might not be needed in the sun."
My head immediately filled with questions. The first one being: Really? In Alaska? It's barely warm enough for tank tops for much of the summer, let alone no tops? What about the bugs?
Read the rest here. But where do you keep your pistol?

you know.... I can kinda see the appeal of it all.
... but not here. Jeepers.
Yep - the only thing worse than being caught, would be "being caught by someone who knows you" ... or perhaps you meant the weather.
Either way, oops. ;^)
First word that came to my mind was mosqioto
Having just gotten back from a trip to Texas to visit my grandmother and being all "ate" up with mosquito bites I can't imagine going anywhere nude outdoors. There are just something I don't want a bite on.
"What about the bugs?" Most definitely!
And at least the bears won't have to figure out the zippers.
Oh good Lord. When did we get these out of staters coming up and living the "free" life.
I am pouring ice cold glacier water on them when I see them and see how they deal with it in the "buff" up here. Think about the kids as well... good Lord.
