... you guys are just a little TOO earthy for me. :)

I live on 73 wooded acres, and have been known to go a full week without putting on any clothes. It's not because I'm weird on anything, there's just nobody out here to see me anyway, why bother? Sometimes I even make it to the mailbox without putting anything on, but I always check to see if the coast is clear first.

Now, I've got a brother who most definitely is weird. He's been arrested numerous times for various charges that all boil down to being nekkid in public, sometimes on a deserted island (once a Coast Guard vessel had to use binoculars to gather "evidence"), but also sometimes protesting outside a courthouse or whatnot. I don't think he's actually ever been convicted, but not for lack of trying. Fortunately, for the past few years he's spent most of his free time protesting George W. Bush rather than the lack of freedom of expression, and there's a lot more people on his side when protesting Bush. After next January, maybe he'll go back to wiggling his junk in public for fun.

I found myself a naked hiker while looking for letterboxes on the Denny Creek trail east of Seattle a number of years back. That was my first (and to date, only) experience finding a naked hiker where I wouldn't have expected to see one. (I've seen a number of them near clothing optional hot springs and even joined in the nakedness there, but I don't think clothing optional hot springs count as "unexpected.")

But be warned! The first day of summer is Hike Naked Day, and you'll be much more likely to find a naked hiker on that day than any other day of the year. I've met several people who claim to have hiked naked on that day. =)

But be warned! The first day of summer is Hike Naked Day

June 21st is the first day of summer and it falls on a Saturday this year!

So which LBH are going hiking in all their glory?

From our local paper:
May 6
Disorderly Conduct
A 19-year-old Mount Gilead man was charged with persistent disorderly conduct after he was allegedly found on the Mount Vernon Nazarene University campus with no clothes on. According to the report, the man was detained by campus security and refused to speak or identify himself to investigating officers. He was transported to Knox County Jail.

The office gossip (on campus) is that he did have a backpack with him... :-D

The first day of summer is Hike Naked Day,

Who's hosting the LB event to commemorate that day?

Anyone?

**crickets chirping**

Anyone?

I better edit my profile! I said my favorite day to letterbox is June 21st!

Surely Wassa can do something with this.

The mind just boggles.

I know......you'd think we would have heard something from him by now. Weird.

Sometimes, it is best just to leave a good story alone! And this is a GREAT story!

me too!!!!
haha
i thought there was a nakie moose when we went to vermont... but my mom told me it was just a female moose? maybe? somethin like that =]
haha...
i love reading these posts ^-^
if i ever have kids i think they'd be nudists aswell,
nakie time will be a great few hours to enjoy
then it'll most likely get our neighbors complaining...
about that and most likely other things aswell =]

isn't june 21st summer solstice?
i'll hopefully be in texas visiting on that day ^-^
i'd love going hiking [and LBing] on that day!!
yayy!!! =D

Who's hosting the LB event to commemorate that day?

I would do it but the boxers I know from around GA I DO NOT want to see naked bending over hunting for boxes. The guys can keep their fruit baskets hidden and there is no need to add a little more bush to the woods.

I was envisioning a back shot of buttcheeks with a letter box caught in the crack!

Kirbert, which island was this? My sons are both in the US Coast Guard in Florida and they were telling me about going to an island and busting a nekkid guy. Sheesh small world if my sons busted your brother. ROFL

I think y'all may be assuming that this was a sight worth seeing. Maybe it was no big deal...

It was an island off of St. Pete. Many years ago, now. Ask your sons how long the guy's hair was!

Seek ye Team Springamajack's Scare Bear series on the Ridgeline Trail and you too may be blessed (??) with a vision of full frontal nudity. Go now, fast, cleanse your heart and embark upon your journey; the Quest for the Nakey Male.

I recently also encountered a nudist, except he had a distinctly creepy look about him...

After passing him, I kept looking down the trail behind me... making sure....

This weekend I'm going to buy pepper spray.

Also, on a related note, remember the "Help Line" thread? That suddenly sat differently in my mind. Couldn't that be used for something bad? For example, a letterboxer is in the woods. The person gets lost, and calls the help line. That person is now inviting a stranger to meet them at a possibly remote location. Anyone see something potentially dangerous in this?

PLEASE always tell someone where you are going before you go, carry mace and a cell phone.

where do you buy pepper spray and/or mace? I've looked for it, but haven't found it anywhere. I think I don't know where to look...........
